About AmCham Korea

The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea was founded in 1953 with a broad mandate to encourage the development of trade and commerce between Korea and the United States. Membership has grown to over 2,300 representatives of over 1,000 member companies.

Mission

Although the functions of today’s AmCham are as varied as the types of businesses it represents, the basic objectives are:

  • to promote and protect the interests of member companies operating in Korea.
  • to represent and relay the opinions of the American business community to the Korean government, and to Korean trade and industry associates as well as to U.S. government officials.

A Source of Up to Date Information

Within the U.S. and Korea, efforts are made to keep members informed and to encourage them to participate in AmCham activities. The bimonthly Journal provides useful outlines of local trade, business, financial and industrial news to members local and abroad. Other publications provide members with information and assistance on living, working, and solving problems in Korea.

Seminars and Briefing

AmCham Korea has institutionalized its ability to organize seminars and Breakfast Briefings for visiting business-people and politicians, to assist in acquainting them with business conditions in Korea. Meetings are also arranged for members who wish to meet with others of similar business interests to discuss specific issues.

Saipan Chamber of Commerce

The Saipan Chamber of Commerce started even before the political status of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) was defined in 1978. Towards the end of 1959, a group of entrepreneurial businessmen got together to form a loose association of businesses. Today, the Saipan Chamber of Commerce is the largest private business organization in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. With over 140 business members, the Chamber is an association aligned to make a difference in the Commonwealth community.
