Dear Members and Friends,
March is Women's History Month, and we're proud to recognize the remarkable contributions of women around the world. As a part of this celebration, we're honoring the women on our team this month on our LinkedIn page.
For our GACC Midwest members, I'm pleased to announce that our Annual Meeting of Members is just around the corner on March 30. This year, we'll be hosting participants both in-person at our office in Chicago and online. During this meeting, we'll elect our board, look ahead to the coming year, and network with one another. We hope you can join us for this important event. All paid members should have received their proxy package in the mail. Please reach out to Jayson Bard if you didn’t receive it. You can RSVP here to confirm your attendance at the Annual Meeting.
Washington is playing an increasingly important role in industrial policy. Join leading GACC members from around the country for our first-ever Washington Fly-In, hosted by our AHK Washington office April 26-27. This is a member-exclusive DC Fly-In opportunity to meet with officials from the US Administration, US Congress, German Embassy, and others.
Our German American Business Outlook (GABO) events have continued, including one hosted by our GACC Colorado Chapter in Denver with over 100 attendees! Thank you to the GACC Colorado team for organizing this special event that I was honored to participate in.
Thursday saw our New York office host their event at Deutsche Bank overlooking Central Park. We would also like to congratulate Jan Heck, Chairman of GACC NY, who was elected as our AHK USA Chairman the same evening and thank Crispin Teufel, Chairman of GACC South, for his service the past two years in that role.
As always, we're committed to serving our members and fostering strong connections between German and American businesses. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Yours,
Mark Tomkins
President & CEO
