Andrew Liveris, president, chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, will receive the 2011 International Leadership Award from the United States Council for International Business (USCIB), a pro-trade group representing America's top global companies, at a November 16 gala dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. The award recognizes Mr. Liveris's strong commitment to international growth, and to ensuring that the United States benefits broadly from closer trade and investment ties with other countries.
In his remarks, Mr. Liveris is expected to call for a number of urgent steps by business and government leaders to improve U.S. competitiveness. An advocate for the critical importance of manufacturing for the long-term health of a nation's economy, Mr. Liveris was appointed co-chair of President Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership in the United States. He is the author of the book "Make It in America," published earlier this year, which presents policy solutions and business strategies to foster an advanced manufacturing economy.
The annual USCIB award gala draws hundreds of business leaders as well as dignitaries from government and diplomatic circles. Advance registration by the media is strongly recommended. More information on the event is available at .
