The Direct Line program offered by the US Department of State provides a unique opportunity for American businesses, particularly small-and medium-sized enterprises, to engage directly via teleconference with U.S. Ambassadors overseas. The program is open to American companies which are already in the country where the Ambassador serves or which are interested in expanding their businesses into those countries. Calls will vary in topic according to the specific needs for business in a given country. 

We invite you to participate in this program and will keep you apprised of upcoming conference calls.  If you have any problems, or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 228-295-7117.
