The Border Governors Conference is an annual, bi-national meeting between the governors of the four American states and six Mexican states that form the Mexico – United States border. It has been held since 1980. == Structure == The conference is attended by: * the Governor of California, Governor of Arizona, Governor of New Mexico, and Governor of Texas, and * the Governor of Baja California, Governor of Sonora, Governor of Chihuahua, Governor of Coahuila, Governor of Nuevo León, and Governor of Tamaulipas.〔 The conferences typically last from two to three days. The conference's location changes among the member states each year, and often alternates between the U.S. and Mexico.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=2008 Border Governors Conference: Joint Declarations )〕 The conference provides a forum for state- and regional-level concerns, issues, and opportunities to be discussed by those in executive charge of the border regions. Results of the policy coordination efforts of the body are often announced via joint declarations at the close of conferences. No permanent office or staff belongs to the conference itself.〔 The conference was attended by as many as 1,200 people until 1994, but was scaled back in size in subsequent years to somewhat over 100 people, in order to permit the governors better opportunities for personal interaction and substantive discussions.〔 Its importance is still uncertain, however, as it is sometimes seen as more about publicity and conversation than accomplishing tangible results.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Border Governors Conference」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
