[cid:[log in to unmask]]Dear AIB Colleagues,
Next Tuesday-Wednesday, October 15-16, The McBride Center for International Business will hold a conference on "NAFTA in a Changing Global Economy," marking the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. A schedule for the conference is listed below and on our website http://www.baylor.edu/globalbusiness.
[Ambassador Robert Zoellick]We hope that you will be able to attend the sessions as you have opportunity. Ambassador Robert Zoellick will be our keynote speaker at 7:00 PM, Tuesday, October 15, on the 5th Floor of Cashion. Ambassador Zoellick served as US Trade Representative, head of the World Bank, and a number of other significant positions.
There will be a dinner at 6:00 PM in the McMullen Faculty Center adjacent to the Cashion building before the Zoellick address, and a luncheon on Wednesday in Armstrong-Browning Library at which Paula Caldwell St-Onge, the Consul General of Canada will speak. You are welcome to attend either or both of these, but seating is limited and a reservation is required.

We will hope to see you next week!
