LMA turns 25 ...

The Logistics & Manufacturing Association will celebrate its 25-year anniversary on Wednesday night at Embassy Suites.
Keynote speaker for the event is author and former longtime Laredo businessman John A. Adams.
The LMA has played an integral part in bringing together manufacturing and logistics specialists and businessmen from across Los Dos Laredos, making sure Laredo and Nuevo Laredo work in tandem to increase transport business.
Little did anyone probably realize when the LMA's early organizational roots were formed that today, Laredo would be the United States' top land port.
The term "NAFTA" would eventually turn a border town of 50,000-60,000 people into a sprawling 200,000-plus populus.
The LMA has been here through this region's growing pains.
Now it takes a brief time out to salute the hard work and efforts of past and present leaders within the LMA.
Here's to 25 more years of success in the manufacturing and logistics business.
