Task Forces and Working Groups

The Brazil-U.S. Business Council (BUSBC) develops its advocacy positions through dialogue with members of the Council’s Task Forces and Working Groups. The Council currently has 5 Task Forces and 6 Working Groups, covering every major business sector. 

These Task Forces and Working Groups are staffed by the Brazil-U.S. Business Council and are chaired by member-companies to shape advocacy efforts within the Council. Members may join as many groups as they wish.
