R.I. firms can learn about exporting to Central America

CRANSTON -- Rhode Island companies can learn about export opportunities to Central America at a conference in Cranston this morning.

Morgan Associates and Bryant College's Chafee Center for International Business are offering the program, which consists of a 10-month commitment and a July trade mission to El Salvador, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.

U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., is expected to attend. The center is named after his late father, who was a U.S. senator and Rhode Island governor.

These countries are part of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, which also includes Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua.
