Task Forces are created to address specific regional and community identified concerns, implement projects, and make recommendations to the Border 2012 entities. Task Forces meet quarterly to address specific issues and local initiatives. Task Force leadership is selected based on the specific issue(s) or local initiative(s) being addressed.

Task Forces include local communities’ representatives, relevant local, state, federal and tribal governments, binational organizations, non-governmental and community-based organizations, along with other equally important entities and individuals. Task Forces are as inclusive as possible and most meetings are open to the public.
