SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District 

Export Councils support the mission of 

US&FCS by facilitating the development 

of an effective local export assistance 

network, supporting the expansion of 

export opportunities for local U.S. 

companies, serving as a communication 

link between the business community 

and US&FCS, and assisting in 

coordinating the activities of trade 

assistance partners to leverage available 

resources. Individuals appointed to a 

DEC become part of a select corps of 

trade experts dedicated to providing 

international trade leadership and 

guidance to the local business 

community and assistance to the 

Department of Commerce on export 

development issues. 

Nomination Process: Each DEC has a 

maximum membership of 35 appointed 

to staggered four-year terms. Because 

the CenCal DEC will be a new DEC, up 

to 17 members will be appointed from 

the date of appointment until December 

31, 2019, and up to 18 individuals will 

be appointed from the date of 

appointment until December 31, 2021. 

All potential nominees must complete 

an online nomination form and consent, 

if appointed, to sharing of their contact 

information with the National 

Association of District Export Councils; 

trade and industry associations; and 

with Federal, State, and local 

government agencies with an interest in 

trade. 

Eligibility and Appointment Criteria: 

Appointment is based upon an 

individual’s international trade 

leadership in the local community, 

ability to influence the local 

environment for exporting, knowledge 

of day-to-day international operations, 

interest in export development, and 

willingness and ability to devote time to 

DEC activities. Members must be 

employed as exporters or export service 

providers or in a profession which 

supports U.S. export promotion efforts. 

Members include exporters, export 

service providers and others whose 

profession supports U.S. export 

promotion efforts. DEC member 

appointments are made without regard 

to political affiliation. DEC membership 

is open to U.S. citizens and permanent 

residents of the United States. As 

representatives of the local exporting 

community, DEC Members must reside 

in, or conduct the majority of their work 

in, the territory that the DEC covers. 

DEC membership is not open to federal 

government employees, or individuals 

representing foreign governments, 

including individuals registered with 

the Department of Justice under the 

Foreign Agents Registration Act. 

Selection Process: Nominations of 

individuals who have applied for DEC 

membership will be forwarded to the 

Fresno USEAC Director for 

consideration. The Fresno USEAC 

Director ensures that all nominees meet 

the membership criteria outlined below. 

The Fresno USEAC Director then 

evaluates all nominations to determine 

their interest, commitment, and 

qualifications. In reviewing 

nominations, the Fresno USEAC 

Director strives to ensure a balance 

among exporters from a manufacturing 

or service industry and export service 

providers. A fair representation should 

be considered from companies and 

organizations that support exporters, 

representatives of local and state 

government, and trade organizations 

and associations. Membership should 

reflect the diversity of the local business 

community, encompass a broad range of 

businesses and industry sectors, and be 

distributed geographically across the 

DEC service area. 

The Executive Secretary determines 

which nominees to forward to the 

US&FCS Office of U.S. Operations for 

further consideration for 

recommendation to the Secretary of 

Commerce. A candidate’s background 

and character are pertinent to 

determining suitability and eligibility 

for DEC membership. Since DEC 

appointments are made by the 

Secretary, the Department must make a 

suitability determination for all DEC 

nominees. After completion of a vetting 

process, the Secretary selects nominees 

for appointment to local DECs. DEC 

members are appointed by and serve at 

the pleasure of the Secretary of 

Commerce.
