Lethbridge-East MLA travelling to USA to promote trade

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Two members of the Government of Alberta are heading south for a few days this month, including one of Lethbridge’s MLAs.

Lethbridge-East MLA Nathan Neudorf and Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland MLA Shane Getson will take part in the 76th Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Legislative Conference in Wichita, Kansas.

Neudorf says it will be a crucial opportunity to meet with lawmakers, industry representatives, academics, and other delegates from the Council of State Governments (CSG) Midwest jurisdictions to promote international trade and other key issues.

“Enhancing our ties with the U.S. Midwest is more important now than it has ever been. By working together, we can further grow and accelerate Alberta’s economy,” says Neudorf. “Sharing information, building consensus, and promoting common interests on regional issues – including energy security, water, agriculture, and economic development – is key to our mutual success. This annual forum provides a platform to access key Midwestern state legislators to accomplish this.”
