The Border Trade Alliance is a nonprofit organization that functions as a forum for discussion and cooperation on cross-border trade and development in North America. Founded in 1986, it brings together participants from Canada, Mexico, and the United States to address border-related trade issues and economic development policies. The group advocates for policies and initiatives aimed at improving border affairs and trilateral trade relations. Its network encompasses public and private sector actors, including business leaders, chambers of commerce, academic institutions, economic development groups, industrial parks, transport firms, customs brokers, manufacturers, and government officials. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, it operates as a small nonprofit that coordinates dialogue among cross-border stakeholders. In June 2026, the BTA announced the appointment of three new board members: Jonathan Bellamy, Rose Benavidez, and Laura Nassri Warren.
