Trade Mission to Mexico EDC Executive Director Connie Stopher was in Mexico City this week with the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), meeting with Mexican companies actively working to expand to the United States. Mexico represents one of the largest trading partners and biggest growth segments of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the U.S.  Connie was joined by representatives from Riverside County, UCR, and SDSU. She had the unique opportunity to speak on a panel and also to represent one of ten regions offered the opportunity to pitch their community to businesses across Mexico. This event is put on by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the State Department as an extension of the annual event in D.C. Connie will be sharing more about the event at the March Board meeting. Employer Needs Assessment Survey We're committed to helping our local employers build out their talent pipelines of the future.
