Cross-border commerce is vital to our economy and the benefits have a multiplier effect impacting our entire country’s economy. Yet these positive impacts don’t always reach the leadership in both Mexico City and Washington D.C. Help us change that by lending your voice as we meet with key Mexican officials and government agencies to advocate for our region during the 11th Annual California-Mexico Trade Initiative in Mexico City, April 17-20.
Strong attendance from our region’s government officials supports the unified voice we bring to Mexico’s capital. We are proud to have the following government officials joining us this year:
- William Ostick, US Consul General in Tijuana
- Oscar Escobedo, Secretary of Tourism for the State of Baja California
- Supervisor Ron Roberts, County of San Diego
- Mayor Kevin Faulconer, City of San Diego
- Mayor Jorge Astiazarán, City of Tijuana
- Mayor Serge Dedina, City of Imperial Beach
- Councilmember Martha Leticia Castañeda, City of Tijuana
- Councilmember David Alvarez, City of San Diego
- Xavier Peniche, Secretary of Economic Development, City of Tijuana
- Mariano Escobedo, Director of International Relations, Government of Baja California
- Gary Gallegos, San Diego Association of Governments
- Laurie Berman, District Director for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
We have seen the great success that is possible from our region’s collaboration with the recent opening of the Cross Border Xpress, a new pedestrian bridge across the US/Mexico border to the Tijuana airport. As a special courtesy from our friends at CBX, all delegates flying out of the Tijuana airport can take advantage of this new travel option at no charge. For more information and to apply, click here. We are currently offering reduced “early bird” pricing – a savings of $600 – so be sure to apply before prices go up March 19.
We look forward to seeing you in Mexico City! |
