White House Office Hours: Connecting the Americas
White House Office Hours: Connecting the Americas
On April 12, ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's trip to Cartagena to participate in the sixth Summit of the Americas, the White House Office Hours will hold the conference "Connecting the Americas," in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce and COA.
Tomorrow, the White House, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Council of the Americas, will host the White House Conference on Connecting the Americas leading up to the President's participation in the 6th Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia this weekend. Building off the Summit's theme–“Connecting the Americas: Partners in Prosperity,” Obama Administration officials will join Hispanic community and business leaders from across the country who have cultural and economic ties to the rest of the Americas to further identify ways in which they can partner up with the Administration to promote economic growth and prosperity.
Join us tomorrow, Thursday, April 12th at 11:30 a.m. EDT, for a special session of Office Hours on Twitter with Dan Restrepo, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Affairs. He'll be taking your questions about the upcoming Summit, and the work the Administration has carried out over the past three years to embark on a new era of regional cooperation based on equal partnership and shared responsibility with our neighbors in the Americas.
