It’s wild economics times out there. Stay sane. Here’s a note from one of our members who works in financial services.

Luckily he doesn’t have to guess. He’s a member of the Economic Club of Miami. We keep you well informed.

There’s been a lot of talks about imports and exports, but what is the #1 export that Latin America needs from the United States?

At the Miami Economic Forum, we turned to @rodrigoarenase to answer that question. Rodrigo was born and raised in Guatemala. With a background in business, he started his own media publication, @republicaguate 15 years ago — in Guatemala. It is now expanding to the growing Spanish language audience in the U.S. (check out Republica.com), with Rodrigo spending more time in Miami as well.

He now believes that the number one export that the U.S. should be sending Latin America are the fundamental principles and practical application of a Republic.

To give some juice to this conversation, we paired Rodrigo up in a fireside chat with one the members of our club, Robert Chatfield, President of the @freetochoosenetwork

Topics include:
* Why Guatemala is a republic on paper but not in reality

Let’s get social! A fun evening tonight for a members only networking event at the Coral Reef Yacht Club, hosted by @bvosters and Scott Benesch of the Benesch Investment Group.

A perfect evening with tremendous views of Biscayne Bay.

We host lots of great speakers but the magic is being part of the membership and making professional and social connections here in the Golden Age of Miami.

OUR VOLUNTEERS ROCK! We could not have made the 2025 Miami Economic Forum a success without you.

Thanks to all the student volunteers from @mdcollege @fiuinstagram and @univmiami for serving with their time and talent. We have some young leaders among us!

And they also got a treat, meeting Raphael Bostic (pictured in center), the President of the @atlantafed bank, who was an attendee at the event. You never know who you’re going to meet at an Economic Club of Miami event!
