USMEF has grown in many ways since its doors opened in 1976. This growth and related achievements in export markets around the world have been made possible with the outstanding support and dedication of USMEF members and industry partners.

Periodically, USMEF recognizes an individual for his or her leadership and lifetime contributions toward the achievement of our organization’s export goals with the USMEF Distinguished Service Award. This year, the USMEF Distinguished Service Award will be presented at the Strategic Planning Conference, Nov. 7-9 in Indianapolis.
