Agency Unique Requirements Ease of Access: The location should be easily accessible for private companies to have meetings, counseling sessions and other trade promotion and educational events at the USEAC location. It should be close to major private business centers, mass transit and major highways. In addition, we are often called upon to host visiting dignitaries and host reverse trade missions. Therefore, we require easy access to client parking, the airport and local hotels. Comfort of Corporate Executives: Each office should be located to make visiting private executives secure and at ease. Any location in which private executives feel uncomfortable or unsafe would hamper the ability of the USEAC to perform their mission and fulfill our performance measures.

Maximize the outreach ability of the Trade Specialists: Trade Specialists travel frequently to local business centers. They coordinate trade shows, counsel individual companies and conduct information sessions. Each USEAC should be in a place to make this local travel as efficient and cost effective as possible.
