Join the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia for a conversation with Ambassador Katherine Tai, the 19th United States Trade Representative about U.S. trade policy, followed by a conversation with Rachel Carson, President and CEO of Helicopter Tech, Inc., a small woman-owned American business and exporter in Pennsylvania. Their conversation will focus on the importance and impact of trade and supply chains for both the local Philadelphia region and the global community.
Ambassador Tai will discuss the work she is leading for the Biden administration—from navigating the digital transformation of the economy to building more robust supply chains; from ensuring that trade policy is focused on uplifting workers, women entrepreneurs, and small businesses to showing commitment to U.S. trade partners and allies.
Following Ambassador Tai’s keynote remarks, she’ll be joined in conversation by Rachel Carson, President and CEO of Helicopter Tech, Inc., a small woman-owned American business in Pennsylvania that manufactures quality parts for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft for both domestic and international clients. Their conversation, moderated by the Council's CEO, Lauren Swartz, will focus on the importance of trade for U.S. businesses and its impact on the local Philadelphia region and the global community abroad.
