Obama Picks Orlando Mayor for Trade Panel

President Barack Obama tapped Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer to serve on an advisory panel on international trade. That's nice news for Orlando, which is working hard to diversify its economy.

The world needs to know there's more to Central Florida than theme parks. Dyer's appointment to the federal panel should help.

Maybe Dyer can make new business friends who could invest in Orlando? Read more here.
