Immediately following the Omega Protein Open House, Trade Builds Virginia will host a Roundtable and Reception from 3:30pm-5:30pm.

Special guests will include community leaders, General Assembly members and Congressional leaders.
Ensuring that Virginia businesses have access to global markets and consumers is a crucial component of any economic recovery. This event will bring together like-minded leaders who represent the pillars of the Commonwealth’s economy – small business, manufacturing, transportation/logistics, agriculture and technology. This is our first partnership with the national Trade Builds America advocacy campaign, and we are excited to discuss the ways in which trade can make Virginia manufacturers even more competitive.
