He pleaded for the leaders of our industry in the United States to invest in the education, training, and growth of the tilt-up industry in Latin America. He explained how the continued advancement of the industry beyond Mexico, further south, would be dependent on the health of the Mexican tilt-up community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message struck a chord with me as it relates directly to two fundamental charges of the association:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1. Maintain a professional stature as the best-informed organization on the subject of tilt-up concrete.<\/li><li>2. Develop and expand tilt-up markets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, we have worked to deliver on these charges for our tilt-up community beyond the borders of the US, and we\u2019re excited to recommit to those efforts in 2023 by reinvesting in the education and promotion of tilt-up abroad. New initiatives supporting member development in Mexico and South America will be introduced throughout the year. Additionally, our commitment to providing multilingual resources will be strengthened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kick off these important initiatives, TCA is establishing an International Membership Taskforce that will identify opportunities and strategies to increase engagement of members outside of the United States. I look forward to reporting on their ideas and activities in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"78\" src=\"https:\/\/tilt-up.org\/tilt-uptoday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Mitch-Bloomquist-Signature-SML-R.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8940\"\/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Nuestro amigo Jorge Figueroa Silva, director general de Tilt-Up Asesores S.A. de C.V., imparti\u00f3 una conferencia en la Convenci\u00f3n y Exposici\u00f3n Tilt-Up 2022 celebrada en Denver, Colorado, titulada \u201cTilt-Up en M\u00e9xico: retos y oportunidades\u201d.
