This past Friday, RCSE had to opportunity to learn more about World Trade Center Savannah from speaker Antwone Mohammed! Before Antwone spoke, President Mark Sprosty reminded members of the All Area Rotary Meeting on Monday, April 14. If you would like to attend, you must RSVP to Kerri by the end of March. Once all Rotary business items were discussed, Mark introduced Antwone.
World Trade Center Savannah is the international arm of SEDA and was founded under SEDA in 2011. There are 300 World Trade Centers in 100 countries throughout the world. In 2024, WTC Savannah was ranked the top one in America! The mission of WTC Savannah is to attract investments and create jobs. Antwone discussed their business and trade services and gave an example of Savannah Bee selling their honey in overseas markets. He also talked about trade and market research, hosting groups from around the globe, TradeBridge (which fosters business between Southeast Georgia and Ireland), their Internship Program, and their signature event which is the Prosperity Through Trade Luncheon on May 15th. Antwone said he has learned that you don't have to leave your hometown to find purpose and make an impact on a community.
