Federico Sada González (left), director general of Mexico’s Grupo Vitro, one of the world’s leading glass producers; and Laurent Beaudoin, chairman of Canada’s Bombardier, Inc., a major transportation company, joined Mike on a panel at Hemispheria 2005, a North American Summit of business and policy leaders in Monterrey, Mexico. Other speakers included Mexican President Vicente Fox and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutiérrez. In a hard-hitting speech that received a standing ovation and widespread coverage in the Mexican media, Mike made it clear that education rather than exploitation of natural resources is Mexico’s real imperative and the key to its future prosperity.
