History of CWTA Leadership:

The CWTA was established in the 1960s when a group of professionals in Charlotte began meeting on a regular basis to discuss foreign trade opportunities and challenges. Since that time, the CWTA has consistently brought together a high-quality group of professionals and leaders to exchange knowledge and build relationships. The CWTA is an independent non-profit organization promoting the growth of international commerce between North Carolina, South Carolina, and the world.
