International Development Committee

The International Development Committee (IDC) aims to expand opportunities and grow the impact of trade, export, and foreign direct investment on Irvine’s businesses and economy, enhance the value of our diversity, optimize competitive global positioning, and strengthen Irvine’s international profile.

The Greater Irvine Chamber is taking proactive measures to protect the health and well-being of our members, volunteers, staff, and visitors. To help prevent the risk of Coronavirus occurrences in our community, the Chamber will be suspending all meetings for 30 days, effective March 13.

ALL MEETINGS ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL APRIL 13, 2020.

The International Development Committee's taskforces support World Trade Week, export and trade, foreign direct investment, international outreach, and leverage the advantages of Irvine's global population.
