Membership Growth/Capacity

     World Trade Center Alaska uses the health of the membership (numbers and capacity) as a way of measuring performance.  WTCAK members must pay their dues for professional trade services.  In 2000, WTCAK has 260 members, which continues the consistent development of a true international business community as represented by the association.       
     WTCAK also measures the capacity of those members in terms of trade and investment capability. Members are individually more engaged and experienced in international business then ever before. WTCAK's membership list demonstrates a list of trade capable companies and individuals who are decision makers, experienced at business and actively pursuing international business opportunities. The  2000 results prove that the blend of membership numbers,  members individual capacity and the services of WTCAK are making trade and investment happen.
