For those who know me, I’m not big on laudation but I strongly feel the need in this instance. Pending a to-be-rescheduled Business Meeting, my partner, Shannon Fura, has completed her tenure as Chair of the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones (NAFTZ). And she rocked it! From unprecedented growth in membership to presiding over incredibly successful and energizing conferences and other events (including steering this week's Annual Conference in New Orleans despite the looming presence of Hurricane Francine!) to advocating and collaborating tirelessly on the Hill, with CBP and with other impacted federal agencies on the Membership's behalf to just being her engaging and passionate self as a principal outward and inward face of the Association, she invested 105% (thank you, Willy Wonka) in everything she did. She blazed a path like no other and set the table for those who follow. Typical for Shannon…. Congratulations on an amazing term full of leadership, insight, inclusiveness and productivity. Proud to call you my partner in every way! #NAFTZAnnual2024 #FTZs #foreigntradezones #wheretradematters #rockstar Page Fura, P.C.

Relive annual with some of these fun highlights from NAFTZ's Annual Conference & Exposition! Day 2 of #NAFTZAnnual24 helped set the tone for a great event, and we're excited to share some of the moments that made the day special! #FTZ #GlobalTrade #InternationalTrade #NAFTZ

Proud Accomplishment! More to come once we go live!! ?????? #FTZ #Getinge #CZS
