Gallant

Dear Members, I hope all of you have enjoyed your summer holidays and are as excited as we are to launch into a busy fall.

In July, AMCHAM representatives attended the annual Washington D.C. Doorknock together with the AmChams of the Asia Pacific (AAP) delegation, where we met with legislators on Capitol Hill and other policymakers to discuss trade issues and advocate on behalf of businesses operating in this region.

We also partnered with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to launch the Sustainable Digital Classroom project together with Google for Education. AMCHAM members have already raised their hands to donate used laptops which will be refitted by Google and put to much needed use in public classrooms throughout Bangkok. You’ll be hearing more about this initiative from us in the coming months, and I encourage anyone who is interested in participating to contact us.

As we wait for the new government to form, our Government Affairs team is keeping busy with steady level of engagements with government agencies and keeping members updated through our Friday news briefings. Our AMCHAM Councils are drafting a number of recommendation papers, with the aim to be ready to share these as soon as the new administration is settled. If you are interested in these activities, the team and I are at your service to help you get involved.

As always, I encourage you to keep a close eye on our calendar. Over the next few months, we’ll host our Golf Tournament, AGM, Corporate Social Impact Award Ceremony, Eggnog Party, Member Luncheons and Governor’s Table dinners, but we will also have some new things for you to enjoy. Watch for our email to see us collaborating with other business associations, giving members an even wider pool of executives to add to their network.

Sincerely,

Heidi Gallant

Executive Director
