San Luis, Arizona —Council Member Tadeo A. De La Hoya has been appointed to the Border Trade Alliance Board of Directors following a vacancy left by the prior administration.
The Border Trade Alliance (BTA) is a non-profit organization serving as a forum for participants to address critical issues affecting North American trade, travel, and security. With over 4.2 million public and private sector representatives, BTA is North America's premier authority on issues affecting the United States’ northern and southern borders.
"I want to thank Mayor Riedel and my fellow Council Members for appointing me," stated Council Member Tadeo A. De La Hoya. "In furthering the mission and vision of the BTA, I will pull from my experience and knowledge gained from the National Association of Latino Elected Officials and the Arizona School Boards Association," he added. “I truly am honored to represent my community on a national level,” he concluded.
"As a border community that sees tourism and trade every day, it is critical to have a city official serve on this board," stated Mayor Nieves Riedel. "Thank you for stepping up to the plate; you will do great," she concluded.
