On May 22-23rd BTA President Maria Luisa O’Connell will help lead the Americas 2020 Summit, hosted by the Border Legislative Conference and the Texas Department of Transportation, in Austin, Texas where Maria Luisa will moderate a panel discussing intelligent border crossings and efforts to enhance the movement of people and goods at our ports of entry.
The Americas 2020 Summit serves as a forum for stakeholders from along the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders to develop concrete recommendations to address the challenges and opportunities to improve North American security and economic competitiveness.
The BTA’s active role in this and similar events carries forward the momentum generated by the recent successful BTA International Conference in Washington, D.C. focused on the impact of border delays on impact on trade and furthers its efforts to pass critical legislation to enhance trade and travel at U.S. land ports of entry.
