Ron Cedillos has long been recognized as a leader of a number of important public policy issues for
the past twenty years. The following are just a few of the more publicized statewide and national programs
he has shepherded on behalf of California.
Border Governors Conference
California’s Governor appointed Ron Cedillos as a member of
the state’s team at the Border Governors Conference. Members
of this important conference work to develop policy and viable
new solutions for cross-border economic development, health,
education, science and technology, environment, border
security, and such issues as the continuing problem of human
trafficking. Other important issues deemed uniquely critical
to California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as well as their
counterpart states in Mexico are also within the Conference's
purview.
Ron's participation helped frame unique roadmap approaches for
resolving complex challenges to the
member states. He brought
with him a wealth of policy and problem solving experience
gained through his positions in both the private sector and on
public sector boards and commissions -- as well as a deep
personal interest in many of the key development issues
continually addressed by the Conference.
His participation in the Conference also added fresh insights
to Ron's own perception of the many challenges and
opportunities presented in the new global economy.
The Border Governors Conference continues its work on serious
contemporary policy issues such as pandemic influenza, border
security in the post 9-11 era, development of bi-national
health alerts and preservation of
natural resources. By
sharing information, technology and personnel with the common goals of preparedness, security and the smooth and continued
flow of goods, services and people the Conference plays a
vital role in fostering cross-border understanding and
development.
