Dominican Republic Ambassador Dr. Juan R. Avila Ceballos will be presenting at Tuesday evening’s dinner. He will discuss business opportunities in the Dominican Republic and will also speak of the efforts to rebuild Haiti which will be directed through the Dominican.

The MCAA has been working with the Dominican Republic to develop a program where members of the MCAA will be invited to open contracting companies in the Dominican Republic with training support of the domestic employees from the government.
