1/30/2000 10:31:17 AM (By Janet MCClouth Curry - SARATOGA BUSINESS JOURNAL)
Companies Honored For International Trading
Highlights: Those interested in participating in international business and exporting - either as owners or employees - need look no further than the Capital Region for opportunities to excel. Through a variety of initiatives, entrepreneurs in Albany and its surrounding communities in fact, are becoming increasingly competitive in the global marketplace, a trend that the Global Business Network (GBN), an independent, not-for-profit, affiliate of New York Capital Region's Center for Economic Growth expects will continue.
"Our mission is to serve as a networking and education organization for international trade - to increase the prosperity of New York's Capital Region through strong and focused leadership in international business and commerce," states Jennifer Miller, Director of GBN, "We are witnessing a growth in international business which is strong and steady, and we are seeing more and more locally-based businesses becoming global
To give Capital District leaders in the global marketplace a little extra incentive to strive for excellence in exporting and international trade, the Global Business Network has devised the Excellence in Export Awards. GBN con- these awards on nine proud recipients in late May.
Those honored were the Intermagnetics General Corporation, Fortitech, Inc., Specialty Silicone Products, Inc., Automated Dynamics English Connection, Mobile Air Transport, Inc.: Consulting Engineers Council of New York State, Inc., Melo Co., and Albany International Airport. The achievements of these nine, award recipients are impressive and exemplary.
English Connection, at 480 Broadway in Saratoga Springs (with satellite offices in Rome, Italy), earned the Excellence in Export Award for Service Exporter. To be considered for this award, an enterprise must have had three years of progressive export growth and 15 percent or more of sales derived from exports.
Taking advantage of a global marketplace in which mastery of the English language often determines what businesses will succeed or fail, the English Connection offers intensive English language and cultural immersion courses lasting for one to three months to students from all over the world. People of all ages have come to the program from 78 countries - with more on the way. Whether from Japan, Taiwan, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Poland, or Uzbekestan - whether CEOs and presidents of multimillion dollar companies or members of corporate teams of support staff - students come to Saratoga to live in host families, take field trips, and participate in four to six hours of classroom study a day. "We love what we do, and it shows," says Joanne Kubricky, Founder and President of this growing organization, "Our students love it here, and we have a lot of fun together."
Founded in 1992, English Connection is the only Excellence in Export Award winner that exports a full 100 percent of it’s services.
