Gateway to Yuma by the Arizona-Mexico Commission
The Arizona-Mexico Commission hosted a “Gateway to Arizona” series that started in Douglas, continued in Nogales, and ended in Yuma. The purpose of the event was to “showcase and celebrate the importance and uniqueness of our border communities” and “hone in on the importance of the growing international trade and commerce sector for Arizona and the special roles our border communities play.”
Each event included a panel discussion on the Arizona-Mexico relationship with Kirk Adams, chief of staff to Gov. Doug Ducey; AMC Board President Jessica Pacheco; University of Arizona Research Center Director Dr. George Hammond; and Luis Ramirez Thomas, chair of the Border Infrastructure and Economic Development Initiative for AMC.
