Executive Order 13675, as amended,
provides that the Advisory Council shall
consist of not more than 26 private
sector corporate members, including
small businesses and representatives
from infrastructure, agriculture,
consumer goods, banking, services, and
other industries. The Secretary of
Commerce intends to make
appointments under this notice up to
the current number of Advisory Council
members, consistent with the Executive
Order and the Advisory Council charter.
The Advisory Council shall be
broadly representative of the key
industries with business interests in the
functions of the Advisory Council as set
forth above. Each Advisory Council
member shall serve as the representative
of a U.S. company engaged in activities
involving trade, investment,
development or finance with African
markets. The Department particularly
seeks applicants who are active
executives (Chief Executive Officer,
Executive Chairman, President or
comparable level of responsibility);
however, for very large companies, a
person having substantial responsibility
for the company’s commercial activities
in Africa may be considered.
For eligibility purposes, a ‘‘U.S.

Additionally, no member shall represent

controlled by a foreign government
entity or entities.
Members of the Advisory Council will
be selected, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce
guidelines, based on their ability to
carry out the objectives of the Advisory
Council as set forth above. Members
shall be selected in a manner that
ensures that the Advisory Council is
balanced in terms of points of view,
industry subsector, activities in and
with African markets, range of products
and services, demographics, geography,
and company size. Additional factors
which will be considered in the
selection of Advisory Council members
include candidates’ proven leadership
and experience in the trade, investment,
financing, development, or other
