What are AmChams_

An American Chamber abroad is a voluntary association of American enterprises
and individuals doing business in a given country as well as firms and business
executives of that country who operate in the United States.  As members
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, AmChams benefit from innumerable
services and privileges adhering to National Chamber membership.

AmChams are formed to advance the interests and views of American business overseas,
to uphold the highest standards of commercial practice, and to interpret the point
of view of other countries to the American business public.  Through AmChams,
business persons of the United States and host countries come together and promote
their mutual interests.

What AmChams Do_
