New Mexico International Trade Expert Jerry Pacheco with The International Business Accelerator will give a free presentation to Western New Mexico University students and the public on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2017, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Light Hall Theater.
The seminar will cover destinations for New Mexico’s exports, New Mexico’s ports of entry, trade with Mexico, recent developments and trade leads, among other topics.
“Jerry Pacheco promotes businesses in Mexico and the U.S. so has a lot of knowledge about the bi-national relationships, particularly in trade. He is a board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ El Paso Branch and advocates for economic growth in New Mexico,” said organizer Francisca Reyes, Assistant Professor of Economics in the WNMU School of Business.
The presentation is organized by WNMU School of Business and Delta Mu Delta as part of the department’s lecture series, and it is open to the public.
“We are inviting members of the community so they might benefit from Jerry’s knowledge and maybe start conversations about local businesses. Attending this presentation will help audience members increase their knowledge of New Mexico’s economic and business climate,” Reyes said.
The mission of the WNMU School of Business is to provide an experiential learning open environment that delivers diverse opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to develop academically, professionally, socially, and personally while catalyzing business and economic-oriented initiatives.
Part of the NM Small Business Development Centers Network, the International Business Accelerator is described as a one-stop shop of resources for New Mexican businesses and individuals wishing to introduce their product or service into the global market.
