Event Detail

Please join us for an evening to extend our warm appreciation for the
tremendous work that our friends in the ACCJ Embassy Liaison program
have done for the Chamber over the past several years.

Some of the liaisons we will be saying good-bye to have been friends of
the Chamber for many years and all of the liaisons have contributed
countless hours of their time to inform our members and extend the
channels of communication between the Chamber and the U.S. Government.

tremendous pillar of support from our friends at the Embassy.
