Chapter Priorities
The Toronto GTA Chapter of AmCham Canada will:
- Continue to work with the official policy lead for AmCham Canada, the National Capital Chapter, toward the creation and on-going development of AmCham Canada’s “National Policy Framework”.
- Re-establish a Finance Committee and a Cross Border Tax Committee to supplement the National Policy Agenda
- Focus on trade, commerce, business and investment and provide its members with multiple opportunities to interact with business executives and professionals through participation in one of its policy or industry committees.
- Increase awareness of the Chapter’s priorities and its members by liaising with U.S. and Canadian government entities, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., its Americas International Division and other Chambers of Commerce in Ontario and abroad.
- Enable members to be more connected with North American opportunities by:
- Developing themed events
- Organize business round tables, information sessions, keynote speakers and member meetings
- Organize incoming and outgoing Trade Mission
- Provide members with critical and timely information on business opportunities, economic concern and policy development
- Utilize IT technologies to disseminate information (i.e. website, newsletter, LinkedIn, etc.).
- Publish key issues and concerns and communicate members issues, concerns and impediments, to business opportunities
