Tom Pierson, founder and CEO, accepted the award on behalf of TAS at the 2005 World Trade Gala sponsored by the Greater Houston Partnership honoring Ambassador Peter F. Allgeier, deputy U.S. trade representative, and the local U.S. congressional delegation. Annually, World Trade Associations around the world distinguish the efforts of their communities to promote peace and prosperity through international business.
