WORLD TRADE CENTER ASSOCIATION
WTCA History The first organization to use the World Trade Center designation, as it is understood today, was New York’s Downtown-Lower Manhattan Association (DLMA), chaired by David Rockefeller.
In a January 27, 1960, in a report to the Governors of the States of New York and New Jersey and to the Mayor of the City of New York, Mr. Rockefeller proposed a facility to be called a World Trade Center.
The goal was to simplify and stimulate commerce by bringing together the offices of government and industry that serve and carry on foreign trade.
The report also proposed that the Port of New York Authority, now the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, “be requested to coordinate and make a detailed study of the planning, financing and activating” of the World Trade Center.
Following a yearlong analysis and preliminary planning project, the Port Authority published its report on March 10, 1961. It described an expanded World Trade Center concept that included essential servicesfor traders, notably a World Trade Institute, a World Trade Center Club and trade information facilities.
Bi-state enabling legislation was passed, and Guy Tozzoli was charged with turning the ambitious proposal into reality. Under his leadership, the concept was refined, expanded and translated into specific services and physical facilities.
The New York project achieved international prominence, attracting visitors from around the world and becoming the model for World Trade Centers everywhere. More and more regions became interested in developing similar projects of their own, and the idea of forming an association of World Trade Centers was born.
At an April 1968 organizational meeting in New Orleans, Guy Tozzoli was asked to direct the formative work with his staff at World Trade Center New York. Later in 1968 and in 1969, further organizational meetings were held in Antwerp, Amsterdam and San Juan.
The first General Assembly of the WTCA was held in Tokyo in 1970, where the constitution and bylaws were adopted and Guy Tozzoli was elected WTCA President. At that time, there were 16 members from seven countries.
The headquarters functions of the WTCA were handled by the staff of World Trade Center New York from 1968 through 1986, when the first WTCA-paid staff member was hired and a separate WTCA office was established.
In 1987, Guy Tozzoli, who had served continuously as WTCA President since 1970, retired from his position at the Port Authority and became the full-time President of the WTCA
By bridging the international business, political and diplomatic worlds, he has kept the WTCA in the forefront of the sweeping changes affecting international trade, while expanding the World Trade Center concept to every corner of the globe.
From its modest membership roster in 1970, the WTCA has grown to include more than 320 members from nearly 100 countries. Taiwan an Korea became members in 1971, Moscow in 1974, China in 1978. In 1981 a meeting was held in Russia without any boycott from the government.
