Butterfield | B001251 | butterfield.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today sent a letter to the North Carolina Department of Commerce urging Secretary Sharon Decker to participate in the SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit to be held in Washington, D.C. on October 31st. Assembled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, the inaugural SelectUSA Investment Summit is a first-of-its-kind event to encourage investment in the U.S economy and connect world business leaders with state and local economic development organizations. The NC Commerce Department has not confirmed its participation in the summit which could help generate future economic growth and introduce local economic development organizations to valuable experts, service providers, and senior government officials. Butterfield wrote, The Summit is an opportunity for the North Carolina Department of Commerce and Governor McCrory's administration to show that it is committed to creating jobs...Your Department must do all it can by paricpating in this event to signal that North Carolina is open for business and investment and help put North Carolinians back to work." The two day networking event will feature sucessful speakers such as the Research Triangle Regional Partnership CEO Charles Hayes and Walmart President William Simon. Additionally, matchmaking services will connect attendees with potential investors and relevant government officials. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
