What is AACCLA?
- The strongest advocate in the continent for pro-business, open market policies.
- A reliable source of information on regional trade and investment issues.
- A critical point of communication between the AmChams, members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and governments in the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean.
- A vehicle for companies based in the United States to access a business network throughout the Hemisphere.
AACCLA’s conferences provide an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with executives and government officials across Latin America and the Caribbean. Individual AmCham membership directories also provide detailed information on companies throughout the region. AACCLA’s member AmChams publish business magazines and other materials written by experts who provide country-specific analysis of trade and investment opportunities—a valuable source of targeted business intelligence.
AACCLA's Mission
AACCLA is a strong advocate of policies that facilitate free trade and economic development in the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The AACCLA Secretariat in Washington, D.C., serves as a liaison between the private sector and the U.S. Government and lobbies to improve trade relations within the hemisphere by:
- meeting with U.S. Congress members and congressional staff, Administration officials, and foreign government representatives;
- testifying before key U.S. congressional committees;
- hosting business conferences featuring key players in international trade;
- generating support from the U.S. business community; and
- providing research and analysis for educational purposes.
