The Structure of the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland
The American Chamber of Commerce Ireland is made up of a Board of Directors and an Executive team. The Chamber has five Regional Groups in the South East, South, Mid West, West and North West. Each Regional Group is represented on the main Board of Directors through its appointed Chairperson. This affords the Regions the opportunity to feed into the policies and strategies of the organisation.
The American Chamber membership collectively is proactive in promoting the importance of US Investment to the Irish economy. It has excellent access to Irish and European public policy networks, opinion leaders and leading media commentators. It uses its voice to create awareness of the key issues impacting on the business performance of member companies. The American Chamber keeps Irish decision makers focused on the factors contributing to the continued attractiveness of Ireland as a location for foreign direct investment.
The American Chamber is organised around its three working groups addressing public policy and shared best practices in HR & Best Practice, Research & Development, and Taxation.
In addition, the Chamber's US Executive Circle provides a forum for US executives living and working in Ireland with member firms
The American Chamber is the largest MNC business association within Ireland. Membership of the American Chamber includes US companies operating from Ireland, their strategic partners and organisations with strong bilateral trade linkages between Ireland and the United States of America.
Affiliations
- US Embassy in Ireland (through the patronage of the US Ambassador)
- ECACC (the European Council of American Chambers of Commerce)
- USCOC (the US Chambers of Commerce)
These organizations facilitate information sharing between other American Chambers in Europe and the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington. This, in turn, enables the Chamber to provide added value to its members through lobbying government bodies, coordinating policy and strategy, and fostering two-way transatlantic investment between Europe and the United States.
