Success depends on foresight, knowledge, strategy, and courage.

Mexico is experiencing a phenomena never before realized. The phenomena is that we are now an autonomous economy without the repercussions of our Northern neighbors. This is not to naively state that we are not at all effected by what happens north of our borders, but merely an observation that it is no longer true that "when the US sneezes, Mexico catches a cold".
This situation has been recently reflected in the rise of the Mexican economy and stock market in-spite of a downward trend in the US economy. In fact the Mexican stock market had actually risen at points when the US market had fallen. The peso is strong and is predicted to remain so, and most surprisingly of all the Mexican banking system has finally gained legitimacy through the acquisition of Banamex by Citibank for an estimated 12 billion dollar acquisition price.
So, Mexico is now coming into it's own, what does it mean? It means that what once was the exclusive domain of our big brother up north is now within the reach of our own country, people and investors. We are the second largest trade partner with the US and fourth with Canada. And we have the natural resources both in domestic mineral and in educational capacity to fill the needs of the world's growing economy and population. We need not recluse ourselves into a "made in Taiwan" mentality, but can rest on our laurels as producers of the highest technical machinery in the world. So what do we need to take advantage of this new economy and position. Information and experience in North American Business culture and European know how. That is what the Club Jalisco is all about.
Club Jalisco is a members only group of Jalisco's and Mexico's top business and academic minds. We are poised to start an organization which can help fill the informational and cultural gap of North and South. Our founding members are among the best educated and experienced US and Mexican educated attorneys, accountants, businessmen, fiscal experts and investors. We bring people and ideas together so that we can bring success to ourselves, our people and our nation. Welcome to Club Jalisco.
