TAG Kick-Off Luncheon with Kellie Meiman Hock

On February 25, COA's Trade Advisory Group convened senior business leaders and policy experts to exchange perspectives on evolving U.S.–Latin America trade dynamics and to help shape the group’s strategic agenda. 

Kellie Meiman Hock, senior counselor at McLarty Associates, led discussion on key regional and policy developments, including the upcoming USMCA review, critical minerals, and emerging U.S. trade tools, while identifying priority areas for coordinated private sector engagement. The session served as a platform to align member priorities, inform actionable recommendations, and strengthen dialogue with policymakers on the future of hemispheric trade.
