The Border Governor's Conference
The Border Governor’s Conference (BGC) is the largest bi-national venue to discuss and resolve some of the most important border issues affecting the United States and Mexico. The BGC is comprised of the 10 Border States from the United States and Mexico (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, and Tamaulipas) which represent the world’s most important and dynamic bi-national region – with a joint economy that ranks third in the world. The BGC is represented by the Governors of the 10 Border States and their respective Secretaries, Directors, Commissioners and designated staff. Since its inception, the organization has enhanced joint border efforts addressing mutual issues of importance in the areas of agriculture and livestock, border security, economic development, education, energy, emergency and civil protection, environment, health, logistics and international crossings, science and technology, tourism, water and wildlife.



The BGC has thirteen worktables and each is Co-Chaired by one U.S. and Mexican Secretary, Director or Commissioner. The worktables focus on providing recommendations and action plans for the Governors’ Joint Declaration. The Joint Declaration is aimed at resolving issues of mutual concern that impact the U.S. and Mexico border. This conference is an important forum of cooperation and deliberation for significant and vital issues confronting the border state communities for both governments. This year the Governor of Arizona is hosting the annual XXVIII Border Governors Conference. In addition to the annual conference, the worktables meet at least twice during the year to discuss and develop the worktable’s recommendations and action plans. The California Emergency Management Agency is a member of both the Emergency and Civil Protection and Border Security Worktables.
