Alex Sonifrank, Affinity & Partnership Manager of the American World Trade Chamber of Commerce joins me for this episode to share how the AWTCC can help local Chambers process certificates of origin.
The AWTCC is a special interest Chamber with satellite offices across the country.
Alex shares why it is so important for local Chambers to have the ability to process certificates of origin to support their local manufacturing and export businesses. He explains how Chambers are uniquely qualified to create certificates of origin. Alex tells how the AWTCC can help certify local Chambers to do this on their own or a Chamber can partner with the AWTCC as an affiliate and actually earn non-dues revenue.
The affinity payments made by the AWTCC to partner Chambers has grown from $30,000 to $300,000.
Alex shares some of the pros and cons of doing this type of work in-house vs. utilizing a partnership like the AWTCC.
