Advocacy

The Brazil-U.S. Business Council 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.

The Brazil Trade Action Coalition (BRAZTAC) comprises a broad range of agricultural, manufacturing, and services businesses and trade associations representing the majority of sectors of the U.S. economy. The Coalition's mission is to engage U.S. Congress and the U.S. Administration in support of policies that stimulate trade and investment between the United States and Brazil

The U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum was created in 2007 by the United States and Brazilian governments to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the two countries. The CEO Forum, comprised of private and public sector representatives, convenes leaders from the U.S. and Brazil to form consensus on priorities in the bilateral trade and investment relationship and advance policy recommendations with both governments.

Through the U.S.-Brazil Business Summit, BUSBC brought together American and Brazilian business leaders to explore progress and goals in the bilateral commercial relationship. President Barack Obama addressed the Summit in March 2011 and acknowledged the need to strengthen economic ties between the United States and Brazil to create jobs and business opportunities for both countries.
