The Advisory Committee is the President’s premier private-sector advisory panel on international trade. The Advisory Committee is a 45-member group appointed by the President to provide advice on matters of trade policy and related issues, including trade agreements. THE ACTPN is under the direct supervision of U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a Cabinet member who serves as the President’s principal trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues.

Mayor Dyer was the only U.S. Mayor selected to serve on the ACTPN.
“It is an honor to be asked to serve in this capacity and I believe I can offer a unique voice and perspective to this committee and the President on behalf of the residents and businesses of Central Florida” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “This appointment also signifies Orlando’s increasingly important role in international tourism and trade.”
