Kansas City Southern de Mexico S.A. de C.V. President and General Manager Jose Zozaya last week was sworn in as the chairman of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce's (USMCOC) binational board.

Zozaya's swearing in occurred during the USMCOC's annual meeting, BiNational Conference and Good Neighbor Awards 2016 event held May 24-25 in Washington, D.C., according to an announcement posted on Kansas City Southern's website.
