I m delighted to Chair the 2nd annual US/Canada Border Conference Advisory Board with such an extraordinary group of colleagues from both the U.S. and Canada, said Bonner. We intend to build upon last year s excellent US/Canada Border Conference and will address the biggest challenges and greatest opportunities for making our mutual border more secure, work better, smarter and more fluidly for the North American economic juggernaut. In doing so, we are bringing together thought leaders and policy makers from both nations to advance the policy agenda, envisioning what goes beyond and after the Beyond the Border initiative. We will be discussing how to implement Beyond the Border 2.0, a U.S.-Canada border for the 21st Century. Advisory Board Chairman Robert C. Bonner, Senior Principal, Sentinel HS Group, Former Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Former Administrator, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Former U.S. District Judge for California s Central District MISSION On February 4, 2011, President Obama and Prime Minister Harper announced the United States-Canada joint declaration, Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness. Beyond the Border articulates a shared approach to security in which both countries work together to address threats within, at, and away from our borders, while expediting lawful trade and travel. The US/Canada Border Conference brings together local, state, provincial and federal agencies, as well as business organizations, in a central location convenient to both nations, to advance this significant agenda between the United States and Canada. As a sponsor, you have the unique opportunity to meet and network with federal agency leadership from both countries, as well as local, state and provincial law enforcement agencies seeking innovative products, systems, and solutions to advance their mission.
