Washington, D.C. — The Corporate Council on Africa’s upcoming U.S.-Africa Infrastructure Conference will be chaired by the Director of Business Development of DynCorp International, Terry Dunmire. Dunmire, who was also recently elected to the board of directors of CCA, will lead efforts to engage key stakeholders in infrastructure development in Africa. The second annual U.S.-Africa Infrastructure Conference is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. from October 8-10, 2007.
“The infrastructure conference is a dynamic, interactive business development opportunity for U.S. businesses to meet their African peers, and to learn first hand the significant business opportunities throughout the continent in critical infrastructure sub-sectors,” Dunmire stated.
Last year’s first U.S.-Africa Infrastructure conference was a two-day event that attracted over 450 high level business and government representatives from all over the United States and the African continent. Many infrastructure projects were showcased in sector-specific workshops.
“By building on the success of last year’s conference, we intend to address the core issue of business and development through the lens of stability - all of the various aspects of stability, how they work, how they apply, why they are essential for business and what the current and future opportunities are,” Dunmire added.
As Chairman of the Infrastructure Conference, Dunmire will convene regular planning committee meetings with other private sector representatives to design the conference agenda and workshops.
Dunmire specializes in international business development projects. In the past Dunmire has initiated and executed mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. DynCorp International is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia.
