KPBS Investigative Border Reporter Gustavo Solis will discuss this relationship with a panel of experts, who will be taking audience questions. Guests include: Denice Garcia, Chief of Staff for San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas Ernesto Bravo, West Division President of Tecma Joe Smith, Senior Vice President of CBRE: Global Commercial Real Estate Services Kurt Honold, Secretary of Economy and Innovation Baja California Paola Avila, Chief of Staff for Mayor Todd Gloria A catered reception will follow the event. All attendees are required to wear masks in the theater. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. promptly. Please allow time for parking and seating.
