The newly resurrected BXI Trade Exchange has formed a strategic advisory board featuring some of the legends of the industry..

Initial board members include Alan Elias, Terry Brandfass and James Roohan in addition to the Company’s President Frank Dobrucki and Chairman Saul Yarmak. Alan Elias is regarded as one of the most successful and highly respected trade executives in the barter industry and has worked closely with BXI and its founder Mac McConnell. In addition to serving on the advisory board, Alan will head BXI’s national training center in Tulsa, OK for independent trade executives.

Terry Brandfass is a co-founder of Trade Management Consultants and serves on the board of IRTA (International Reciprocal Trade Association). As a proven leader with 24 years of experience in the retail trade industry, Terry will work closely with management to develop the most modern and successful trade platform in the barter industry while also collaborating with Alan Elias in leading BXI’s training efforts. Ms. Brandfass and her husband Lee originally became associated with BXI in 1980, purchasing a franchise directly from founder Mac McConnell.

James Roohan has also joined BXI’s advisory board and will manage the Company’s corporate trade division as well as operations in San Diego and Orange County, CA. Mr. Roohan is a sophisticated corporate trade executive who specializes in large media and hotel trading in addition to being a qualified specialist in high-end watches.

“It is a privilege to work with such seasoned executives who have the industry expertise and passion to quickly make BXI the leader in the trade marketplace. We anticipate a very successful launch next month followed by rapid growth, in part based on the extremely enthusiastic reception we received at last week’s Zanderboard show in Las Vegas. We look forward to announcing several positive developments including BXI’s new offices and membership promotions in the coming months,” stated Frank Dobrucki, Global Links’ President.
