In this program, Celeste Nuñez, Director at the New Mexico Trade Alliance, will examine the evolution of U.S. trade policy from the first Donald Trump administration to today, including the use of Trade Act tariffs, emergency authorities, and ongoing legal challenges. Drawing from her work leading the state’s designated trade organization and supporting New Mexico businesses, she will discuss how these policies are impacting New Mexico and what they signal about the future of global commerce.\n\nPresenter: Celeste Nuñez is the Director of International Business Resources for the New Mexico Trade Alliance, a nonprofit economic development organization in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She connects companies from all over New Mexico with local, state, federal, and international export assistance resources to help them gain and grow international sales. Notably, Celeste manages the SBA-funded New Mexico State Trade Expansion Program Grant under the New Mexico Trade Alliance’s contract with the State of New Mexico.\n\nCeleste is a 2020 U.S. Global Leadership Coalition’s (USGLC) Next Gen Global Leader and a member of the USGLC New Mexico Advisory Board. In 2019, Celeste served as the organizer for the Albuquerque – Chihuahua Sister City Bilateral Commission, an Agreement with the objective of developing programs of mutual benefit in the areas of economic development, tourism and cultural exchange, public safety, and education. Additionally, Celeste contracts with local governments on other business development projects through her own consulting company.\n\nCeleste graduated summa cum laude with a BBA from the University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Management focusing on International Management and Marketing.\n \nThursday, June 4, 2026 – 6:00 PM\nAlbuquerque Country Club, 601 Laguna SW\n\n/* "function"==typeof InitializeEditor,callIfLoaded:function(o){return!(!gform.domLoaded||!gform.scriptsLoaded||!gform.themeScriptsLoaded&&!gform.isFormEditor()||(gform.isFormEditor()&&console.warn("The use of gform.initializeOnLoaded() is deprecated in the form editor context and will be removed in Gravity Forms 3.1."),o(),0))},initializeOnLoaded:function(o){gform.callIfLoaded(o)||(document.addEventListener("gform_main_scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.scriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),document.addEventListener("gform/theme/scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.themeScriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",()=>{gform.domLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}))},hooks:{action:{},filter:{}},addAction:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("action",o,r,e,t)},addFilter:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("filter",o,r,e,t)},doAction:function(o){gform.doHook("action",o,arguments)},applyFilters:function(o){return gform.doHook("filter",o,arguments)},removeAction:function(o,r){gform.removeHook("action",o,r)},removeFilter:function(o,r,e){gform.removeHook("filter",o,r,e)},addHook:function(o,r,e,t,n){null==gform.hooks[o][r]&&(gform.hooks[o][r]=[]);var d=gform.hooks[o][r];null==n&&(n=r+"_"+d.length),gform.hooks[o][r].push({tag:n,callable:e,priority:t=null==t?10:t})},doHook:function(r,o,e){var t;if(e=Array.prototype.slice.call(e,1),null!=gform.hooks[r][o]&&((o=gform.hooks[r][o]).sort(function(o,r){return o.priority-r.priority}),o.forEach(function(o){"function"!=typeof(t=o.callable)&&(t=window[t]),"action"==r?t.apply(null,e):e[0]=t.apply(null,e)})),"filter"==r)return e[0]},removeHook:function(o,r,t,n){var e;null!=gform.hooks[o][r]&&(e=(e=gform.hooks[o][r]).filter(function(o,r,e){return!!(null!=n&&n!=o.tag||null!=t&&t!=o.priority)}),gform.hooks[o][r]=e)}});\n/* ]]> */\n\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields\n \n CompanyThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone*Who Will Be Attending?Check all that apply\n \n Members\n \n \n Students\n \n \n Guests/Non-Members\n How Many Members Are Attending?*How Many Students Are Attending?*School(s) Students Currently Attend?*How Many Guests Non-Members Are Attending?*Name(s) of Attendees, including non-members, for name badges:*The menu is chef’s choice (usually beef or chicken) but you may request a fish entree or a vegetarian entree; and/or a fresh fruit plate.
