Brandon Kollar discusses the difficulty of working with overseas partners where the lack of adequate communication skills can make contract performance much harder than dealing with U.S.-based partners who share a common language and a common way of expressing themselves.Lasty, Stephanie Beringhele talks about the Made in America Pavillion at the ASD Market Week show and how, despite its small size at present, the growth it is experiencing year over year has been nothing less than outstanding.
