Thoughtful quotes
Ramiro Cavazos, President/CEO of the USHCC
" No quiero que me den, quiero que me pongan donde hay"
Rafael Barceló Duraza, Cónsul Titular, Consulado de Mexico. "I am a son of Sonora, who understands the integration of culture and commerce between our two countries".
Dr. Marla Franco, Assistant Vice Provost HSI Initiatives, University of Arizona.
“We have treated things like WIFI and technology as something our students should have on their own, but it is very basic necessities in which they need our help. We must support them in any we can. Just in the past months our campus pantry has had about 3,500 visits from 715 unique individuals, we have to ask ourselves, how do we meet the most basic needs of our campus community”

Thursday's Hispanic Market Outlook - Talking Health
Thursday's line up is ready to go! Each day we have taken a deeper dive into key topics. Tuesday we presented data on trade and our demographics. Wednesday we invited a wonderful panel to discuss Education and we spoke to the data. Thursday we are coming back with data on Healthcare and Insurance and will have a panel discussion and presenters on health resources.

Thank you to our Education Speakers and Panelists
It was another great day on Wednesday with insightful discussion from our panelists. We heard from multiple points of view on how Education is responding to COVID, the needs that have been uncovered along with tech deserts. How the community is working and must continue to work to meet the needs or our students. The entire panel agreed, our children are our future.
We thank Karla Morales for moderating and our wonderful panel, Dr Marla Franco, Chief of Staff Claudio Coria from the Office of the Superintendent of Arizona, Steve Holmes, and Dr Breanne Bushu. Thank you!
Trade Statistics for Tucson Area
Jaime Chamberlain, President/CEO of Chamberlain Distributing LLC, spoke to the attendees on Tuesday and reminded us of the contributions to our city, state, and country that Nogales Arizona makes. He put it simply, "We feed America".
