The Voice of U.S. Borders
Policy Overview
Entering 2025, the BTA is redoubling its mission to enhance economic competitiveness and community prosperity along both borders. Leadership changes in Washington, Mexico City, and Ottawa create opportunities to ensure that cross-border trade remains a policy priority. We will continue to advocate for streamlined ports of entry, modernized infrastructure, and fair, tariff-free trade throughout North America.
Our recent advocacy has helped secure federal support for border modernization, improved data transparency, and closer collaboration between customs agencies. This momentum fuels our 2025 policy agenda, ensuring that North America remains a model for efficient, secure, and sustainable trade.
Board of Directors & Committees
The BTA Board of Directors is composed of business executives, elected officials, and industry experts from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Their diverse expertise ensures our advocacy reflects real-world needs, supporting safe, efficient, and competitive trade corridors across the continent.
BTA’s strength comes from its committees and volunteer leaders. The Security and Trade Committee develops positions on cross-border facilitation and security. The Agribusiness Committee addresses agricultural trade and supply chains. The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee promotes mobility and energy projects, while the Seaports Committee advances maritime efficiency. Our USMCA Public Policy Committee ensures the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is structured to promote prosperity across North America.
