The National Center for APEC is a private business association of U.S. firms engaged in the Asia-Pacific region and in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.  Its focus is bolstering U.S. involvement in APEC and driving development of priority issues within APEC.  In the U.S., the National Center for APEC represents the interests of the American private sector and works with both the U.S. government and a broad array of companies across a wide range of economic sectors to help ensure that progress is made on key issues affecting U.S. industry and workers.  Members of the Center's Board of Governors will be in Seattle for their annual Board Retreat on September 5-6.
