International SIG

The purpose of the International SIG is to be a resource for SAO members in their understanding, education and business success pertaining to non-US markets.  The committee will function as a clearinghouse and facilitator in the exchange of information amongst the northwest region’s international community, as a provider of unique international programs that complement other SAO SIG committees and public and private organizations, as a mentor providing assistance and advice regarding international topics, and as a connector of people and information.

The IntlSIG is targeted to serve SAO members who have an interest in or existing operations in markets outside the U.S. for their products and/or services.

 The International SIG Steering Committee meets the third Thursday of each month at 3:00 pm in the SAO offices. If you’re interested in joining the committee please contact Ericka Katz at 503-228-5452 or ericka@sao.org.
