"It's about networking so they can get down to a personal level before they get down to business," said Joy Leach, a spokeswoman for Governor John Baldacci of Maine, who is co-chairing the event with Shawn Graham, the premier of New Brunswick.
Sessions today will also look at transportation connections between the two regions, opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in transportation, and regional economic issues.
