What: U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman will join U.S. Rep Eddie Bernice Johnson, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Mary Kay Inc. executives for a tour of the company’s Dallas manufacturing facility. A discussion on continued negotiations of the Transpacific Partnership Agreement and global-trade expansion will follow.
Mary Kay Inc. produces skin-care and color cosmetics for many of the company’s 35 markets around the world. As the country’s top trade diplomat, Ambassador Froman will witness firsthand how local efforts at Mary Kay are a prime example of how bolstering trade efforts is beneficial to growing the economy.

10:30 a.m. - Media to arrive at Mary Kay Manufacturing Facility
