Dear Attendees,

We would like to extend our appreciation to everyone who attended and participated in the South County Economic Development Council's Binational Forum last Friday, August 16th, at the National City South County Lighthouse of the San Diego Rescue Mission. Your presence and engagement were instrumental in making this event a resounding success.

Our region is uniquely positioned as a dynamic and interconnected community, sharing cultures, economies, and a collective vision for the future. Together, we are driving change and fostering growth for the millions who live, work, and dream in the Cali-Baja region.

A special thank you goes to our sponsors, Trucknet, LLC, the City and County of San Diego, Energy Communications, and our gracious host, the San Diego Rescue Mission, for their invaluable support in bringing this event to life.
