2010 Border Governors Conference

Governor Brewer's Cancellation Letter to the Border Governors

Acting in my capacity as Chair of the XXVIII Border Governors Conference, I am writing you to let you know that your recent confirmation regarding non-attendance at the upcoming conference has led to my decision to cancel the Conference. As you know, all member Governors originally agreed many months ago to have Arizona as the site for the 2010 event. At this time, I find no appropriate alternative to cancellation, since each of you has stated in your correspondence that you will not come due to legislation recently passed in Arizona. Naturally I am disappointed by your decision, as I sincerely believe the gathering of the Governors in Arizona would have presented a great platform to initiate dialogue about the legislation and other topics of great importance to the border region.   more....
 

“As Chair of the XXVIII Border Governors Conference, I am excited to host this year’s event, and I welcome you all -- fellow Governors, delegates and federal representatives to the Grand Canyon State.”   more...
