BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Trade Office has a new executive director, officials said Thursday.
Drew Combs, who joined the trade office in August as a business development executive, is taking over the post, according to Lt. Gov Brent Sanford, chairman of the agency’s board of directors.
Sanford said Combs has nearly two decades of international and domestic experience in agriculture and energy and has lived and worked in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Sanford calls those two sectors the “pillars of North Dakota’s economy.”
The trade office is a membership-based, private-public partnership that promotes North Dakota companies in order to help them increase exports and grow their international business.
