With the agreement, the SDTA and its fellow organizations “pledge to work together to advance the San Diego and Tijuana region, seeking the prosperity of the businesses from this area” and focusing on such factors as economic health, quality of life, education and tourism “that are key for the attraction of foreign direct investment to our binational region.”

(DEITAC), and President and CEO Jerry Sanders of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce (SDRCC).
The agreement specifically calls for the nine partner organizations to:
