Gene Lindgren, Laredo EDC President and CEO, along with Gerry Schwebel, IBC Executive Vice President, Ignacio Urrabazo, Commerce Bank President, and Laredo EDC Chairman, and Henry Sauvignet, IBC Vice President, International, and Public Affairs were honored to attend the NASCO 2022 Continental Reunion in Kansas City. 

This tri-national group connects people, businesses, ideas, information, efforts, and organizations to inform and be involved in policy decisions at all levels.  The annual conference features political & business leaders from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to gather to discuss the future of our North American trading relationships.  The photo was taken at the Monarch Butterfly Reception at Kansas City Southern Headquarters where a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated the new Monarch butterfly garden.  The many speakers across the three-day event informed stakeholders about trends and outlook in areas such as trade relationships, USMCA, workforce, supply chain, real estate market, FTZs, and sustainability.
