ICPA was established by Ann Lister and Lynda Westerfield to serve the needs of international trade compliance professionals. It has grown from an informal e-mail list into an organization of over 1000 members.

By joining ICPA you can have access to and take part in the most vital discussions surrounding international trade today. You can ensure that your views are known to government and industry partners whose policies affect your bottom line.

The mission of ICPA is to:

• Disseminate information relevant to import/export and other international trade related matters.
• Facilitate networking opportunities among the membership body.
• Facilitate career opportunities and development.
• Monitor and participate in international trade issues and trends with a goal to potentially affect change and influence policy development in the global trade arena, either directly or in conjunction with other international trade organizations.
• Provide education and training, which may include wholly sponsored programs or programs in conjunction with other appropriate organizations.
• Foster an environment that promotes resource sharing and benchmarking opportunities.
• Protect and promote the interests of the international trade compliance professional.
