The Mexico-United States relationship is often reduced to trade deals and migration headlines. But beneath those headlines is a deeper story—one of shared history, interwoven economies, and the question of how two nations can collaborate without erasing their complexities.

Join us for a conversation that will explore the evolving dynamics between the U.S. and Mexico with Sergio D. Suárez Ramírez, President of the North American Institute for Mexican Advancement (NAIMA). Ramírez will be in dialogue with Luis Alberto Lecanda, MS, to explore the evolving dynamics between the two nations. The 45-minute conversation will be followed by a 15-minute audience Q&A.

Founded in 2001, NAIMA is a nonprofit dedicated to fostering the advancement of Mexican and Mexican-American communities in North America through civic, economic, and cultural programming. The organization works to develop transnational agendas that benefit both nations and preserve cultural identity while promoting active civic participation and inclusive development.

The event is presented in conjunction with the arrival of the México en el Corazón cultural delegation, whose free public performance takes place the following evening at the Sun Valley Resort Pavilion. This evening offers an opportunity to reflect on the deeper connections that bind our communities across borders and generations.
