AmCham Women in Leadership Committee's celebration of International Women's Day
Close to 60 guests joined us at the Deloitte Coffee Lounge in the Times Square building to connect with and learn from women in leadership and other AmCham members. The event, organized by our Women in Leadership (WIL) committee, featured Board of Governors members Madame Ha Thu Thanh (Chairperson at Deloitte Vietnam) and Hang Nguyen (Partner at Baker McKenzie), WIL Co-Chairs Dr. Astrid Matarrita (Psychologist) and Minh Nguyen (Country Lead Vietnam at Allianz), as well as Graham Harlow (Acting Consul General, U.S. Consulate in HCMC).
In the context of deep global cultural shifts to drive increased diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, mindsets and behaviors such as empathy towards others, balance between work and family, cultural awareness, and authenticity, were highlighted as essential for leaders and organizations to enable women to succeed.
Thank you to our panelists for sharing their amazing insights, as well as all guests for their participation in another successful event.

Unity Update - Election of New National Board of Governors
Last December, AmCham Vietnam’s general membership approved a new Unity Charter for our Chamber, as well as an Implementation Plan to put that new Charter into effect during 2023. Among other things, the Unity Charter calls for the establishment of a new National Board of Governors to be elected by our members.
The Implementation Plan calls for the formation of a Nominations Committee by the National Chair. The Committee will shortlist the slate of candidates for the new National Board of Governors and ensure the integrity of the election.
Once the Nominations Committee has been formed and the slate of candidates shortlisted, AmCham members will vote to elect the new National Board of Governors by the end of May. We expect to publish the results of the election by the end of June.
We encourage all current Governors of the Boards in HCMC, Hanoi, and Danang interested in serving on the Nominations Committee to contact our National Chair directly by email no later than Wednesday, April 5: Gregory@TestermanAdvisory.com.
We also encourage all AmCham members nationwide to consider running as a candidate for the new National Board of Governors. We will be soliciting nominations in the coming days.

Greetings from Danang and I hope you are all well!
Congratulations to our Member ‘Wink Hotels’ as they opened their second property in Danang on the 30th of March. Wink is more than a hotel. It’s a neighborhood hub designed for innovation, comfort, and function – the perfect launchpad for exploring. And the perfect crash pad for recharging. Slide into their sleek space and see for yourself. It’s comfortable. It’s multifunctional. It’s everything you want in a neighborhood hangout. Connect, collaborate and chill in a Wink Space cabana. Or find a quiet corner and fire off some emails. It’s up to you.
We look forward to collaborating with them this year for some events and in years to come!
