Statement of Interest/Vision
Over the past year, I had the opportunity to serve on the AmCham board of governors including as Treasurer. During this time, I’ve seen the deep commitment of our members to support the chamber and a robust dialogue with government and industry to continue Vietnam’s economic success. As an AmCham board member, I will support continued collaboration across industry and policy topics with the goal of enhancing the trading relationship between the US and Vietnam. As part of this collaboration, I would like to facilitate cross-industry discussions on regulatory hurdles and successes that can support each AmCham member in understanding how to do business in this dynamic country. I am excited by the opportunity to continue serving on the AmCham board and I look forward to contributing to continued success of the organization.
