Paul Rux earned his B.A. (History), M.A.L.S.  (Library & Information Studies), and Ph.D. (Management) from the University of Wisconsin - Madison.  He designs and teaches onsite and online M.B.A. courses on Management and International Business.  He serves on the State Leadership Council of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) / Wisconsin.

 

Paul and Jane Rux plan to open a branch of her art business in Fergus, Ontario.  She is an expert folk artist.  See www.rosemal.net.

  

 

Dr. Rux is founder and chair of Xpert Venture Designs Corporation, or XVDC.  It is a nonprofit chartered by the federal government of Canada to create new ventures in and with Canada.  See www.venturedesigns.org.  Its CEO, Fred Long is a business educator and lives in Cobourg, Ontario, outside Toronto.  Fred earned his M.B.A. from York University in Canada.  XVDC works with Canada Research Center to promote strong cross-border funding and partnerships.

 

 

Canada Research Center also teams with the Wisconsin State Historical Society to "mine" its collections of up-to-the-minute Canadian federal and provincial government documents.  The Society is part of the campus of the University of Wisconsin - Madison.  Its collection of Canadian historical materials is one of the richest in North America.  We are helping the Society to become the leading research resource on Canada for Great Lakes States.

 

 

Canada Research Center works closely with the

Wisconsin State Department of Commerce. Wisconsin  does over $5.5 billion of trade with Canada each year.  It wants to expand this to create new jobs.  Canada Research Center plans to apply the "lessons learned" to grow trade with Canada for other Great Lakes States.  More trade creates jobs for both countries.  We work closely with our Canadian counterparts.

 

 

To build ongoing grassroots support for increased business with Canada, Canada Resarch Center creates courses for students and workshops for teachers about Canada.  They explore past, present, and future ties between Canada, the USA, and specific states.  We use cost-effective onsite and online formats.  We work with Youth Care, Inc., an American 501-C3 nonprofit, to fund and create them. See www.youth-care.org.
