Chamber, stated that, "Given the high number and the high caliber of attendees
today, our Chamber has already made one more significant contribution to
helping identify new markets and new opportunities for our members and for
the local business community. The agreement we've just signed will add to our
Chamber's bi-national dimension and contribute to enhanced trade relations
between the US and Poland."

foreign trade to benefit its members and future business associates. The
