Develops general interest programs such as the annual State of Our Port dinner
CBFANC offers a few programs each year to facilitate networking opportunities for membership and also to update them on current business information. Our most notable function each year is the State of the Port Dinner which gives membership the opportunity to hear from the Port Direct of CBP. In the last few years the Director of FDA and the Commandant of the Coast Guard have participated.
Currently we have one program in the works, which is the Peter Friedmann Luncheon or dinner. Have not completely decided on which yet.
The Program Committee is looking for people who would like to join our committee. We need input and ideas on what programs our members would be interested in and would like to see this year. Anyone with fresh ideas is very welcome to join.
