WASHINGTON, DC – TODAY, Friday, May 6 at 12:30PM ET head of the U.S. Small Business Administration Maria Contreras-Sweet and United States Trade Representative Michael Froman will be joined by Former U.S. Congressman Jim Davis (FL-11), and David Peter Bello, Sr., founder and CEO of Endoscopy Replacement Parts, Inc., for an on-the-record press conference call to discuss the importance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership to Florida’s economy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises.
Endoscopy Replacement Parts, Inc. was recently named the “2016 National Exporter of the Year” by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Trade is a substantial driver of Florida’s economy. Goods exported by Florida support more than 270,000 U.S. jobs.
