What is AmCham Taipei?
Extensive membership is the Chamber's greatest asset. The knowledge and
expertise of this vast resource is tapped through a variety of interactive
forums. AmCham, for example, coordinates the activities of 26 working
committees that convene on a monthly basis to address advocacy issues
and provide opportunities for professional and business development.
Committee members collaborate on formulating annual position papers,
used for communicating industry concerns to relevant government agencies.
The position papers are also valuable advocacy tools for AmCham's annual
Doorknock trip to Washington. On that trip each year, an AmCham
delegation meets with senior officials in the U.S. Administration and on
Capitol Hill, as well as think tanks, scholars, and industry associations, to
discuss international business concerns about U.S.-Taiwan trade and
commerce. All members are invited and encouraged to participate in this
crucial dialogue.
AmCham 2015 Hsieh Nien Fan
While AmCham serves the broader interests of international business,
Chamber membership is also an important means of personal integration
into life and business in Taiwan. Every month, the Chamber offers a
variety of luncheon and breakfast meetings and seminars on subjects
of particular interest to our membership.
Speakers regularly include world-renowned economists and politicians,
management gurus and academic experts. More importantly perhaps,
these events provide the opportunity for meaningful interaction among
AmCham members and a basis for broadening contacts within Taiwan's
business community.
AmCham is also an important information clearinghouse that provides an
insider's perspective on Taiwan's marketplace. The Chamber’s monthly
publication, Taiwan Business TOPICS magazine, includes year-round
business reporting and policy analysis in support of Chamber
advocacy issues. TOPICS has become the definitive voice on the business
climate in Taiwan to executives, government officials, the media and
academics. The magazine enjoys wide distribution to prominent officials,
elected representatives, and think tanks in the United States and Taiwan.
The annual Taiwan White Paper is included in the June issue of
TOPICS.
