International trade- the International Business Council, under Laura Ortega Lamela’s direction, makes the movement of people, money and goods easier for its members. In 2018 we organized 44 programs and private meetings highlighting trade and investment opportunities for our members in 15 countries and four regional markets. The council added 15 new members and established partnerships with several domestic and foreign organizations. Our annual meeting is unveiling our new focus, structure and value proposition so our members can spot opportunities within the current global climate. #trading #ibc #investments #internationaltrade #internationalbusiness Laura Ortega Lamela Wintrust Financial Corporation

5yBig big thanks and appreciation to WINTRUST and IBC Chairwoman Susana Meza. Also, Vice chair Ray Drake from UPS and ALL my member companies and Global Partners. Without your incredible support, critical leadership and generosity the Council's work helping Illinois businesses to grow internationally would have not been possible. So excited about our 2019 plan!
