In previous years, the IAC subcommittees have included economic competitiveness, workforce development, and strategic communications. The agenda may change to accommodate IAC business. The final agenda will be posted on the Department of Commerce website for the IAC at: https://www.trade.gov/​selectusa-investment-advisory-council, at least one week in advance of the meeting.

Last minute requests will be accepted but may be impossible to fill. There will be fifteen (15) minutes allotted for oral comments from members of the public joining the meeting.
