American Chamber Of Commerce In Vietnam
AmCham Vietnam is a not-for-profit, non-governmental, and non-political organization. Its objectives are:
- Promote the development of trade, commerce, and investment between the United States and Vietnam
- Provide a forum where American businesses in Vietnam can identify and discuss common interests regarding commercial activities in Vietnam
- Work with organizations in Vietnam on matters of mutual interest
- Maintain relations with chambers of commerce in the United States and other chambers of commerce or commercial organizations
AmCham Vietnam was originally founded in 1967 and re-established as an informal association soon after the return of American businesses in Vietnam in 1994. AmCham Vietnam's charter was approved by the Board of Governors in 1998 and was officially licensed by the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on September 19, 1998 under the provisions of The Degree of the Government Promulgating the Regulations on the Establishment of Foreign Business Association in Vietnam, Decree No. 8/1998/ND-CP, 22 Jan 98. Herb Cochran is the current Executive Director, having held the position since 2000 and the 2008 Board of Governors Chair is Thomas Seibert.
