This event demonstrated the need for economic cooperation, revealing trade relations as essential for the prosperity of both nations. Seeing the Ambassador again is a pleasure. Below is a photo from our previous encounter. Wishing Ambassador Gutierrez and the NADBank team well, and congratulations on a great event.

Congratulations on this well deserved achievement to our Board Member Kristi Marcum, CRPC™!
