| Terrell County ASD Workshop |
AdventGX conducted a series of AGX Strategy Deployment (ASD) workshops with community leaders, citizens, and business representatives in Sanderson, TX, May 18-19.
During these workshops, the community identified their assets and best developmental opportunities by sharing their ideas and visions for establishing prosperity in Terrell County. AdventGX will help the community to prioritize projects, functions, and tasks that need to be implemented to help the County realize its vision. This first phase of the project will conclude in an economic and tourism development plan aimed at leveraging the community’s existing assets. In addition to the workshops, AdventGX team members took the opportunity to explore the community and get to know a few of its residents.

| Cuauhtémoc Chihuahua Tourism Development Initiative |
| Jose Quintana and Nacho Paez visited the city of Cuauhtémoc to deliver a presentation outlining the results of the Cuauhtémoc Tourism Development Initiative. The results called for placing emphasis on the further development of the heritage and natural tourism assets inherent to the region. The Mennonite and the Tarahumaran Tourism Experiences received top priority rankings from local and regional leaders. AdventGX, as part of its ASD (AGX Strategy Deployment) consultancy, presented a sustainable and comprehensive model for regional tourism development focusing on international markets. The development of such model as a private / public partnership will become the foundation for phase two of the Cuauhtémoc Tourism Development Initiative, an effort aiming to more than double yearly tourism related revenue for the region within the next three years.

| Sonora Economic & Tourism Development Initiative |
| Sonora Industrial Development Corporation announced this month that they will engage AdventGX to support the strategic planning of an economic development initiative in Sonora, TX and surrounding Sutton County. The initiative began when the SIDC Board of Directors determined that a critical need existed for a comprehensive plan to guide their efforts to improve the quality of life in the community through economic development. AdventGX will hold its standard ASD workshop series in June to assess the community’s needs and desires and will then provide SIDC with strategic objectives for moving this initiative forward. |
