Info

MITC OPERATIONS The Trade Center is sustained by the generous support of Maine taxpayers as well as its 300 member companies and organizations. MITC is led by the State Director of International Trade, and has its own staff of 5 trade specialists, 2 support professionals, and a cadre of interns. The annual combined budget is $858,378 with $521,853 coming from state appropriations, and $336,524 from the private sector. Private sector dollars represent memberships ($79k), sponsorships ($39.5k), and the balance is pass-through participation fees in education and mission events – all based on FY2010 budget. Despite increases in operational expenses due to health care costs, insurance, rents, and IT service costs, MITC has continued to meet the consistent increase in demand for services. Since 2001, state appropriations to MITC have been cut by 10%. The results of these cuts have been staff reductions and service eliminations. MITC has reduced its Bangor Office staff from 2 to 1 and was forced to close its physical Lewiston office in July 2009. 13
