Newsletter

September 2024

 

Welcome to our monthly newsletter. The fall season has kicked off with several timely activities. Our top-tier members had a chance to meet the Minister of Finance to discuss the budgeting process and the proposed tax code changes. A small group of members got together with selected board members to offer their feedback on AmCham priorities. Also, this month our work groups are concluding their work on two upcoming position papers on Precision Medicine and AI. We look forward to seeing you at one of our many events in October to learn and connect!
