New Investment Advisory Council Seeks Applicants
By Vinai Thummalapally, Executive Director of SelectUSA
Recently,
the Department of Commerce established the United States Investment Advisory
Council (IAC). This council will
serve as a key conduit for stakeholder input on how best to support U.S.
economic growth through the attraction and retention of foreign direct
investment (FDI).
This Council will consist of no more than 20 members appointed
by the Secretary of Commerce. Each IAC member will serve for a two-year period
and the Council will convene twice a year. The mission of the IAC is
simple but important for job creation in the United States. The IAC
shall:
- Advise the Secretary on U.S. government policies and programs
that affect FDI;
- Identify and recommend programs and policies to help the United
States attract and retain FDI; and
- Recommend ways to support the position of the United States as
the world’s preeminent destination for FDI.
