From Immigration Planning to Corporate Governance | CFBACC

The event

Information to participate. Connections to keep.

Starting a business in the United States is the first step. Sound business structures, good governance and a strong company culture help a business thrive.

On Wednesday, November 11, the Central Florida Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce (CFBACC) brings together attorneys, consultants and executives to discuss the practical challenges of expanding a business internationally. They’ll cover immigration planning, corporate structure, governance, management and company culture. Join us for a talk, two panels and time to meet people who have made that move themselves.
