Educational and
Networking Programs
MVITA presents
several programs
throughout the year,
both educational and
social. MVITA's programs
are educational based on
important subjects and
issues for both
exporters and importers.
Each program provides
networking time so that
you have the opportunity
to meet with
professionals in the
international arena and
have the chance to
discuss the latest
topics and issues
effecting international
trade. The programs are
developed to educate the
newcomer in
international trade on
the basic aspects of
international commerce
as well as update the
more experienced
international personnel
on changes in procedure
and regulations.
For those who can not
attend outside programs.
MVITA will be offering
e-training on a variety
of subjects. This allows
the participants to stay
at work and receive the
training on their
computer. The list of
topics is current and
very relevant for
competing in today's
global economy.
Annual Meeting
At the end of each
program year (September
1 to August 31) the
Association invites all
members to attend an
annual meeting at which
members are elected to
the Board of Trustees

brought before the
general membership. An
Annual Report, which

matters, is available at
