The session, held in conjunction with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, will help business owners learn about ways to boost their exports, access working capital, leverage government resources, and find new markets and customers around the globe.\n\u201cMy top priority in Congress is helping to grow the economy and create jobs and opportunity for the middle class. That\u2019s what this Exporter Forum is all about,\u201d Kuster said. \u201cThis event will help ensure that our businesses have the tools and resources they need to boost their exports and create good, middle class jobs right here in the Granite State.\u201d\nKuster will deliver remarks at the forum, as will Patricia M. Loui, a member of the Export-Import Bank\u2019s board of directors. State and federal officials will then join local business owners for panel discussions on export resources and strategies.\nA member of the House Small Business Committee, Kuster has prioritized efforts to boost exports and create jobs and opportunity for middle class families in New Hampshire. Earlier this year, she introduced the Small Business Growth Through Exports Act, legislation that would extend and expand the successful State Trade and Export Promotion program (STEP). To date, the STEP program has helped dozens of Granite State companies expand their exports, create jobs, and grow New Hampshire\u2019s economy.\nGranite Staters who are interested in attending the event are asked to register here.
