The U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum was established in 2007 and brings together up to 12 U.S. and 12 Brazilian CEOs to develop joint recommendations for both governments on how to increase bilateral trade.
Past CEO Forums have been instrumental in the approval of a 10-year visa, the creation of the U.S.-Brazil Defense Industry Dialogue, and the recent moves by both governments towards Global Entry.
On April 1, 2019, the new term of the CEO Forum will begin. New U.S. members have been selected, and applications continue to be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.
