WORLD TRADE WEEK:
Southern California
-The Gateway for Trade
The Los Angeles area is considered the
Gateway for Trade, steeped in a long history
of solid business and consumer relationships, groundbreaking
innovation and tremendous resources. For 89 years, the Los Angeles
Area Chamber of Commerce has worked with the Southern California
trade community to spread the word about the financial benefits of
trade, transportation and logistics, and the impact trade makes on
jobs and opportunities within communities.
We have seen those very opportunities germinate right here in
Los Angeles. One of the greatest examples is the port complex
of Long Beach and Los Angeles. This port complex is remarkably
the largest in the country, the largest on the West Coast of our
hemisphere and ranks among the top 10 in the world. Additionally,
Los Angeles International Airport ranks among the top passenger
and cargo airports in the world. As well, the Southern California
logistical network moves more than $400 billion of cargo annually
and is one of the most efficient in the world – satisfying one of the
most demanding, diverse and affluent consumer bases of nearly 20
million inhabitants. Furthermore, the strong entrepreneurship and
diverse presence of manufacturers, service providers and financial
services complement our geographic advantages.
One of the most significant geographic advantages is having the
Southern California trade community positioned at the gateway
of the Pacific Rim, centrally located to capitalize on activity in
the Americas with South America and Canada. Additionally, trade
continues to grow in significance to our economy with Asia, the
Americas, Europe and Africa.
While we recognize its history, we also understand the importance
of its future. It is imperative that our high schools and universities
continue to enhance trade curriculum in order to prepare our
students and give them competitive career opportunities related
to trade transportation and logistics. The World Trade Week (WTW)
celebration supports this by offering scholarships and outreach
to high schools and universities. We also encourage the business
community to continue to coordinate efforts by providing internships
and experiences for students to have practical training.
Diversity in global markets, the composition of our global
community (people, languages, cultures) represented, and varied
industries are the strengths of the Southern California trade
industry. We trade with more than 200 countries and have 209
languages spoken in our communities. We are not dependent on one
trading partner, but instead have well-established ones, including
China, Ecuador, Germany and Angola. We have the innovation to
offer superior products that meet worldwide demands and have the
capacity to purchase products around the world. Industries such as
agriculture, auto, metals, electronics and aerospace make California
unique. These innate qualities make Southern California extremely
competitive.
While WTW allows us to laud the progress in trade tools and
visibility, there are challenges that remain that can impede growth.
II | CHAIR’S MESSAGE
Some of these include deterioration of natural resources, lack
of infrastructure to support growth and failure to continue to
create an educated workforce prepared to meet global demands.
We must work together to not only remove obstacles, but also
continue to keep Southern California competitive as the logical
gateway for trade in the years to come.
Our trade community must stay updated on the changing
dynamics with key partners such as China, which has rapidly
moved from a low-cost provider to a viable trade market for U.S.
products. We’ve also seen a shift from the U.S. dollar being
the exclusive currency in global trade to increased usage of the
Chinese renminbi. Additionally, technological advancements,
automation and robotics are impacting trade and job markets.
Companies are focused on improving their cash flow and
mitigating their risks. Trade continues to offer new opportunities,
but these same opportunities demand new, competitive
strategies.
I am honored to serve as Chair of the 2015 World Trade Week
in Southern California and celebrate its 89th year that includes
programs, scholarships and recognition of trade achievements.
I’d like to recognize the collective efforts of the many trade
organizations, business, educational and government members
of the trade committee for their invaluable support. I encourage
you to participate in the many WTW activities. We know trade is
dynamic and as such, it is vital to stay abreast of the global and
economic changes, potential risks and emerging opportunities.
WTW will help you do just that. Moreover, our continued efforts
to work together will keep the world recognizing Southern
California as the Gateway for Trade.

MESSAGE FROM
U.S. Secretary of
Commerce
World Trade Week, first observed in
1927, was born out of the Los Angeles
business community’s desire to focus
public attention on the economic benefits of international trade.
Initiated by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, World
Trade Week is now celebrated during the third week of May to
raise awareness of the value of international trade to businesses
and communities across the country.
In today’s global economy, American prosperity is directly tied
to our ability to reach new markets and new customers beyond
our borders. The fact is, exports have been a key driver in
our economic comeback over the last six years. Every day, an
estimated 11.7 million Americans go to work in jobs supported
by exports. Furthermore, exports contributed nearly one-third of
our economic growth between 2009 and 2013.
President Obama’s trade agenda is focused on strengthening the
competitiveness of U.S. businesses by opening more markets
to American goods and services. The President understands
that promoting new trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership (T-TIP) will benefit our businesses and middle-class
workers across the country.
From Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, our entire
Administration is making the case that the new trade
agreements are essential to ensuring fairness for our businesses,
to upholding our values worldwide, and to advancing our global
economic leadership.
These new trade agreements will ensure that American
companies can compete in foreign markets on a fair and level
playing field. The Asia-Pacific region boasts the fastest-growing
middle class the world has ever seen, with more than 500
million middle-class consumers today expected to reach 3.2
billion in just 15 years. If our companies cannot access these
markets and customers on fair terms, they will find themselves
at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy, now and
in the future.
With new trade agreements, we can uphold our core values
around the world-setting high standards on labor, the
environment, intellectual property, and for global trade
in general. We can also expand and strengthen American
leadership by bringing together critical strategic alliances with
partners around the world.
The Administration is also taking concrete steps to make
it easier to U.S. companies to begin exporting or expand
international sales. Through NEI/NEXT, which is the second
phase of the President’s National Export Initiative, 20 Federal
agencies are advancing program and policy improvements that
IV | U.S. DEPT. OF COMMERCE’S MESSAGE
will enable more U.S. businesses to capitalize on existing and
future opportunities created by the U.S. trade agenda.
This World Trade Week is a chance to reflect on the many ways
trade benefits ours economy and look ahead to the opportunities
available through new trade agreements. Congratulations to the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce on the 89th World Trade
Week on behalf of the Obama Administration.
Sincerely,
PENNY PRITZKER
U.S. Secretary of Commerce
U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE’S MESSAGE
| V
MESSAGE FROM
United States Trade
Representative
May 5, 2015
Dear Members and Friends of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of
Commerce,
For nearly 90 years, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce
has led our nation in using World Trade Week to highlight how
global trade can deliver local benefits. There’s plenty to celebrate
this year, which promises to be one of the most important in the
history of American trade policy.
First, let me thank you for your important contributions to the
economic progress we’ve made in recent years. As America’s
third largest export market, the Los Angeles metropolitan area
is responsible for more than 45 percent of California’s total
merchandise exports. Last year, goods exports from California
supported roughly three quarters of a million jobs.
What’s true in the Los Angeles area is true across our country,
where rising exports are supporting good jobs and spurring growth.
Last year, U.S. exports supported 11.7 million jobs, an increase
of 1.8 million jobs since 2009. Even better, these jobs pay, on
average, up to 18 percent more than jobs not related to exports.
Having logged our fifth straight year of record-breaking exports, it’s
clear that “Made-in-America” is making a comeback.
We’re on the cusp of something big, but there’s more work to do.
Even though more American businesses are exporting than ever
before, more than 95 percent of our businesses still don’t export
goods at all. Put differently, 95 percent of American businesses
are missing out on 95 percent of the world’s customers. That’s an
incredible amount of opportunity just waiting to be unlocked — for
jobs, for growth, for our middle class.
To seize that opportunity and level the playing field for our workers
and businesses, we’re moving forward with the most ambitious
trade agenda in American history. At the forefront of that agenda
is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which will cover nearly 40
percent of the global economy, including three of the Los Angeles
area’s top four export markets. It will grow our exports by more
than $123 billion a year by 2025, according to one estimate, and
support many more high-paying jobs.
The TPP is a truly groundbreaking agreement. It will include the
highest and most enforceable labor and environmental standards
of any trade agreement. For the first time in any trade agreement,
the TPP will put disciplines on state-owned enterprises and ensure
a free and open Internet. Furthermore, the TPP will protect the 40
million Americans whose jobs are directly or indirectly dependent
on innovation – from the inventor in her garage to the union
carpenters I met making Hollywood sets.
VI | U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE’S MESSAGE
The first step toward realizing these gains is bipartisan trade
promotion authority. That’s how Congress has worked with
American Presidents since FDR, including every President —
Republican and Democrat — for the last four decades, to ensure
that the United States takes the lead in shaping the global
trading system.
In 1935, FDR declared that a tradition started by the
Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce was worthy of our
entire nation’s attention: World Trade Week. As we continue
that tradition this year, the world looks again to America for our
leadership on trade, and Americans look to leading organizations
like yours to explain the stakes.
Sincerely,
AMB. MICHAEL B. G. FROMAN
United States Trade Representative
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA’S MESSAGE | VII

MAYOR OF LONG BEACH’S MESSAGE | VIII
MESSAGE FROM
City of Long Beach
Mayor Robert Garcia
On behalf of the great City of Long Beach,
welcome to World Trade Week!
The City of Long Beach is committed to economic growth
through innovation. Long Beach has long been home to
innovators in aerospace, goods movement, education and the
arts, and over the past several years, we have taken steps to
ensure we remain a leader in innovation in the 21st century. We
are creating the infrastructure, regulatory environment, and wellprepared work force that businesses need to thrive and grow.
Our City’s Economic and Property Development Department
and Economic Commission are focused entirely on supporting
economic growth and development, and our Technology and
Innovation Department and new Technology and Innovation
Commission are comprised of some of the best thinkers and
leaders in the region. And in recognition of our support for
innovation and growth, we’ve been awarded a $3 million grant
from Bloomberg Philanthropies to fund an Innovation Team
focused entirely on the economic development of Long Beach.
All that in a city that operates one of the biggest port complexes
in the world, the Port of Long Beach, which is not only growing
each year, but through the use of innovative technology is
becoming more efficient and more sustainable, a world leader in
goods movement and environmental stewardship.
Our airport also continues to lead with innovation, with an
award-winning concourse, on-site solar power generation, and a
level of service unsurpassed anywhere in the world.
Our efforts are bearing fruit. We’re incredibly proud to be
the new home for outstanding firms like Virgin Galactic and
Shimadzu Precision Instruments, and we are working every day
to continue attracting innovators in many industries.
World Trade Week is a great opportunity for regional and
international stakeholders to share ideas and information that
will benefit the economy in California, the United States, and
the world, and on behalf of the City of Long Beach, I want to
thank all of you for participating.
Sincerely,
MAYOR ROBERT GARCIA

HISTORY | 3
WORLD TRADE WEEK HISTORY
The World Trade Week concept
was conceived in 1926 and first
observed in 1927 in Southern
California. World trade continues
to significantly contribute to
the nation’s economy and has
developed a vast new horizon for
America’s businesses.
In 1926, Stanley T. Olafson,
then manager of the World Trade
Department of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, conceived
the idea of a World Trade Week observance in Southern
California. This was during a period of isolationism and under
the conditions prevailing during the heyday of the restrictive
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.
Celebrating a month
of world trade in May
In 1935, President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
officially proclaimed World
Trade Week as a national
observance by the United
States Government and
selected the third week
in May each year, which
includes May 22, National
Maritime Day.
Initially, the purpose of World Trade Week was to promote the
Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Following World War
II, the expanding economy and potential for international
commerce growth created an opportunity for World Trade Week
to expand its scope to include all facilities and organizations in
the Southern California area involved in world trade.
Under the guidance of its founding sponsors — the L.A. Area
Chamber, Los Angeles World Airports, the Port of Long Beach
and the Port of Los Angeles — the original week-long observance
has now grown to more than 30 events held each year
throughout the month of May in the counties of Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura.
This tremendous nonprofit endeavor is further supported by
Southern California companies who offer sponsorship for the
many programs and informational materials the World Trade
Week Committee creates each year.

Education is the cornerstone of World Trade Week. Some
current programs and involvement include:
SCHOLARSHIPS
The World Trade Week committee offers scholarships to
aspiring Southern California students in international
trade-related fields. The purpose of these scholarships is
to foster international trade education and international
business development. In establishing this scholarship
program, the committee hopes to develop a network
of international trade professionals who are willing to
provide mentoring to students wanting to enter the field
of international business.
Scholarships are awarded to outstanding, graduating,
high school seniors entering an accredited college or
university with the goal to prepare for a profession in
international trade.
At the university level, scholarships are awarded to
full-time students who have completed or are in the
process of completing at least a quarter or semester
internship with an international business, organization
or association of the Los Angeles international trade
community.
GLOBAL TRADE CAREER BRIEFINGS
The World Trade Week committee hosts several
educational briefings each year that are focused on
informing high school students, educators and career
counselors on career opportunities in fields related to
international trade. Members of the committee also
participate in regional university and high school career
fairs.
PUBLICATIONS
World Trade: Your Roadmap to Success features specific
international career profiles from the public and private
sectors, including banking, consulting, education,
logistics, marketing and trade policy promotion.
