Welcome to the North Texas District Export Council! The North Texas District Export Council (NTDEC) is one of the 60+ DEC which make significant contributions to America’s international competitiveness. It is a diverse group of volunteer International Trade Professionals representing regions throughout North Texas. The District Export Councils contribute leadership and international trade expertise to complement the U.S. Commercial Service’s export promotion efforts through counseling businesses on the exporting process and conducting trade education and community outreach. The primary objectives of the NTDEC are to educate the community about free trade and the benefits of free trade and include “how to” education to promote exports by companies in our area. This is facilitated through networking events and subject matter expert speaking forums. There are also legislative, educational and certification programs to participate in.

The mission of the North Texas District Export Council (NTDEC) is Promoting Export Growth in North Texas through Education and Collaboration. Some of the ways that this is fulfilled are:

  • Export training seminars
  • Trade promotion events
  • Expert speaker forums
  • Legislative outreach initiatives
  • Networking events
  • Volunteer teaching to undergraduate and graduate students
  • Close partnership with the U.S. Commercial Service

Members of the organization are volunteers appointed by the U.S. Commercial Service and come from a broad and diverse set of skills, backgrounds and experiences.
