How Has the CWAG Alliance Partnership Impacted You?

Has being involved with the Alliance Partnership had lasting effects beyond your initial involvement? We would love to hear about it!

 

One of the goals of the AP program is to encourage lasting professional relationships and cross-border collaborations. If you've reached out to the Attorney General's Office of a state on the other side of the border for an inquiry, investigation or prosecution on a case with cross-border elements based on a contact you met at a CWAG AP training, meeting or event, let us know.
 
You may be invited to present a case report at the upcoming Binational Attorney General Exchange at Disneyland, California, in July 2012, to dozens of state Attorneys General from both the U.S. and Mexico. Send your story to Alejandra Caraveo, Program Liaison, at acaraveo@cwagweb.org.
