Mission Statement

In today’s highly interconnected global business environment, information, knowledge and actionable insights will determine international commercial success (or failure) more than anything else. This reality is fully comprehended by the Virginia International Business Council (VAIBC - formerly Richmond Export-Import Club).

The Board voted to adopt this below new mission statement and name change to better reflect the globalized environment in which we exist today.

As such, the VAIBC has adopted as its mission – to be a foremost provider of “impactful” international intelligence with respect to market opportunities, sourcing possibilities, environmental realities and the strategies and tactics related to global business success in Virginia.
