Why You Should Consider Joining USCIB

People spend their time and money on things they value.  In business, the same holds true – owners and executives want to know, “How will it benefit me and my organization?”  Today, the most critical business risks on a global scale are concentrated in the areas of regulations and compliance.  At USCIB, our reputation as the leader in global regulatory diplomacy for predictable rules and regulations under which business can plan, invest and innovate has made us a “must have” partner for American business interests since 1945.

Because we are multi-sectoral, our consensus position carries more weight with policymakers.

Our voice is strong and effective.
