The Texas Center for Border Economic and Enterprise Development, a featured data provider for key indicators through the U.S.-Mexico border region, provided a "thank you" luncheon Thursday at Texas A&M International University.
City Manager Carlos Villarreal and Laredo Police Department Chief Carlos Maldonado offered welcomes to a pretty full house at the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative building's Fernando A. Salinas Room. Gerry Schwebel, executive vice president with IBC Bank, and Sylvia Martinez of the U.S. Census Bureau spoke to those gathered.
Visitors from Rio Grande Valley city Pharr, including Mayor Leo "Polo" Palacios Jr., and Del Rio were among the guests along with City of Laredo and Webb County representatives.
The Texas Center, led by Director Herbert A. Molina, and his support staff did a pretty good thing by inviting those whom have helped provide the center key data for nearly 20 years. A simple gesture like this can go a long way toward developing and firming up coalitions and connections.
Good job, Texas Center.
