Welcome to the 
ICE GROUP WEBSITE!

International Credit Executives Group of Wisconsin

Upcoming Meetings


Some organizations discuss exporting and the “how to’s” from the broadest of perspectives.  As a result, managers get excited about the markets waiting for them and their company’s products…and rightfully.  However, the factors involved in long-term success go way beyond the broad explorations of the market potential.  ICE offers the details you need to ensure success in the international marketplace.

Your people will be able to meet, discuss and develop relationships with their counterparts at member companies such as Orbis Corp, Briggs & Stratton Corporation, The Vollrath Company LLC, Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation, Hatco Corp, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, Trane Company, Trek Bicycle, Cooper Power Systems, and P&H Mining Equip.

You’ll be able to take advantage of experts in exporting from resource members such as Wells Fargo Global Bank, M&I Marshall & Ilsley, HSBC, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of Montreal-Harris, ME Dey & Company, Euler Hermes ACI, and the U.S. and Wisconsin Departments of Commerce.

If your company exports, you need the ICE Group.

For information on the next ICE Group meeting…of if you would like complete details about membership, call Dianna Rowinski at Wisconsin Credit Association, 262.827.2880 X225.


I'M A BELIEVER
When WCA and ICE were advertising in January and February that they were running a discounted special on Coface reports it piqued my interest. I have had a report contract with WCA for several years but was not using it. However, the nice thing about buying a contract from WCA, is that your units don’t expire within a year. So having had these units for several years, I decided to use them on trying the Coface reports. I had been using Brand X for all of my International reports but was not satisfied with them because most of the time they didn’t give me very much information even though the reports were easy and fast to get. I have now received three Coface reports and I could not believe the wealth of information that I received including up-to-date financial data. If you are looking for a change in your international credit reports, contact WCA and try a Coface report and I am sure you will be a believer as well. It may take a few days longer, but it is well worth the wait.

"OBAMA AFTER YEAR ONE--ARE YOU STILL STIMULATED"
in the Morning
Presented by: Menzie Chinn
Professor of Economics & Public Affairs at the Lafollette School at UW-Madison
Meeting Location: UW Madison-Fluno Center
Madison WI

In response to the "Great Recession," President Obama signed a $787 billion economic stimulus package known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We will discuss the federal government's policy responses to the economic crisis, including monetary policy and fiscal policy, proposals for new financial regulations, the harmonization of the international financial policy and trade policy.

"MAINTAINING BRAND CONSISTENCY IN THE GLOBAL MARKET"
in the Afternoon
Presented by: Linda Gorchels
Director of Executive Marketing Education at UW School of Business

Today's international marketplace is credibly competitive and globalizing a brand is a serious challenge. Companies must determine which brand characteristics apply in different markets, and which need to be localized. Experienced, international marketers know the special challenges of building a brand abroad. We'll look at business models that cater to local cultures, relationships, all accompanied by a 'real life' global branding effort of a Wisconsin company.
More details about these two sessions can be found in the announcement.
