Our featured speaker is Tiffany Melvin, J.D.
Congratulations to the United States and Mexico for their ratification of the USMCA / CUSMA / T-MEC! We eagerly await the same from Canada. The agreement will benefit all North Americans, and will ensure our continent’s competitiveness and dominance in the global marketplace for years to come. It is, however, only an agreement. North Americans must not be complacent. We must work every day to insist our governments and industry ACT on the platform provided by the new USMCA / CUSMA / T-MEC. We must continue to develop the relationships, trust, respect, shared ideas and opportunities to ensure our North American continent is the most competitive trading block on earth – and the benefits and prosperity are understood and realized by every North American.
