The Chamber's foreign affiliates, called AmChams, aren't American companies doing business in foreign companies, like the Chamber wants us to believe. AmCham in China is comprised of Chinese firms like Northern Light Venture Capital, AmCham in Russia includes state run banks and AmCham in Abu Dhabi is mainly state-run oil companies.
CWA?s Next Generation Committee, with members representing each district and sector, met for two days last week on efforts to expand involvement of young workers and young leaders within CWA.
