World Trade Council of Wichita, Inc.   Calendar of Events & Monthly Program
 
 

World Trade Council of Wichita (formerly the World Trade Club) was organized in 1975/76 by co-founders Dr.Lee Nehrt, Dr.Dharma De Silva & Dean Larry McKibbin at the Chamber with 11 area MNCs to promote international trade & investment in Greater Wichita and South Central Kansas. The WTC originated in 1974 as the International Relations Committee of the Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce. WTC was instrumental in making Wichita a U.S. Customs Port-of-Entry & attracting the Wichita office of the U.S. Department of Commerce, initially housed in the School of Business. WTC assisted in the establishment of the M-A World Trade Center (presently Kansas World Trade Center). Today the Council is affiliated with Wichita State University Barton School's Center for International Business Advancement [CIBA] and the Wichita Metro Chamber.
