Regional businesses interested in international marketing could get a boost, thanks to a grant awarded to Virginia Tech's Public Service Programs by the U. S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service Rural Export Initiative. The grant will fund two seminars on export procedures, one at the Southwest Higher Education Center in Abingdon on Sept. 4 and the other in Charleston, W. Va. on Sept. 5. J. Douglas McAlister, director of program development for University Outreach and International Affairs (UOIA), announced the grant. Public Service Programs is part of UOIA Program Development.
