The final segment of the USMCA Forum series was held in Tucson, AZ, on Friday, September 12th, in partnership with the Mayor of Tucson’s Office and hosted at the University of Arizona. The event drew a strong turnout, bringing the conversation to Southern Arizona and highlighting perspectives on trade and policy from a diverse group of contributors.

Featured speakers included Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, Abigail O’Brien from U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego’s office, U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton, University of Arizona President Suresh Garimella, GPL President & CEO Neil Giuliano, Arizona District Export Council Chair Carol Colombo, and Mexican foreign law and policy expert Jesús Rodríguez Dávalos. Panelists shared expertise spanning public policy, border trade, international business, and law.

With the upcoming USMCA review this fall, the forum underscored the agreement’s critical role for Arizona businesses and the importance of strengthening ties with Mexico and Canada—our state’s largest trading partners. For a full photo gallery from the event, please click here.
