The Border Trade Alliance (BTA) presents “Our Borders, Our Futures: BTA Community Event Series“, a series geared towards all aspects of our nation’s borders by adapting to each specific region, highlighting their differences and understanding their challenges. The goal is to facilitate discussion between policy makers and local stakeholders on issues affecting our borders with the overall goal of providing specific solutions. Several will be held each year in different communities throughout both borders in order to gather and relay information regarding current federal policies in motion. Please inquire about bringing the series to your community.
