The Co-Chairs for 2021 New York World Trade Week:
  • Andrea Ratay, Vice President, CICP, Global Trade Finance at TD Bank and chair of the New York District Export Council 

    Statement from Andrea Ratay:
    "NYDEC members represent the cross-section of industries engaged in international trade.  From logistics and manufacturing to academia and finance, we have seen how companies and institutions have pivoted and adapted to changing conditions, in this past year more than ever.  Throughout, communication among those various players has been of the utmost importance.  World Trade Week reflects how our interdisciplinary community works together, bringing the various interests and expertise to sharing ideas and developing solutions. While we would certainly prefer to travel and be together in person, NYDEC is looking forward to leveraging virtual platform(s) this year as we expand participation in World Trade Week."

  • Sam Ruda, Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's Port Department 

    Statement from Sam Ruda
    "Welcome to World Trade Week.  During Covid, The Port of NY & NJ has remained fully operational to facilitate the movement of cargo locally, regionally and nationally.  All the Port of NY & NJ’s supply chain partners are coordinated and working hard  to support and supply more than 28 million consumers throughout the region and another 106 million throughout the Midwest, New England, and Canada.  Collaboration and Communication is key to having cargo move through these Challenging times.  The Port of NY and NJ has seen record cargo volumes over the last 6-7 months. I wish all stakeholders a very successful World Trade Week."
