TPA DECISION TIME

Gavel Day, an GBD annual event, is the day when the chairman of the GBD Board of Advisers hands over the gavel to the incoming chairman. On May 8, our current chairman, Jay Eizenstat of Mars, will give the gavel to Yuri Unno of Toyota.
This is a critical period for American (and world) trade policy, with Trade Promotion Authority headed to the floor of both the House and Senate and a Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement not far behind. We will look more closely at the dynamics of TPA with help from the experts:
Speakers
Angela Ellard
House Ways and Means
(Majority)
Jason Kearns
House Ways and Means
(Minority), and
Everett Eissenstat
Senate Finance Committee
(Majority), and
John Murphy
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Depending on the timing of further U.S. Senate consideration of Trade Promotion Authority, the line-up could change. Whatever the situation at the time, this event is bound to be as valuable as it is timely.
Note to Press: The TPA discussion with Congressional staff will be off-the-record.
Price: $100 general admission. There is no charge for GBD members or press. U.S. Government staff are welcome to attend at the special U.S. Government rate of $40.00.
