Meet the All-New ACC Amplifier

LOOKING FORE-WORD TO SPRING AND GOLF

Good afternoon and welcome to the ACC Amplifier – our newly designed general newsletter created to inform you about the latest news and events for the Asian Chamber of Commerce. In this weekly email, you’ll also meet chamber members, learn about partner events, and hear from your board members and chamber staff. We are excited to connect with you on a more personal level, and we want you to get more involved and engaged with the chamber.

As we gear up for the 2nd quarter, the Chamber is working hard to bring you several special events and programs to help grow your businesses and show our support for the community. Our Annual Chamber Foundation Golf Tournament is right around the corner on April 10th. The tournament offers unique networking opportunities for local businesses to build relationships and expand business prospects. Not only do we bring like-minded business owners together for a round of golf, but we’re also raising awareness for the Asian Chamber Foundation and its scholarship program. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to support our future leaders. As a prelude to Asian Restaurant Month, ACC will host our annual “Restaurant Series,” a 3-part free educational program for restauranteurs throughout the month of April.

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and there is much to celebrate as Houston is a world in a city. Therefore this May will be Asian Restaurant Month. The program offers over 100 participating restaurants and over 10 Asian cuisines. To support Asian Restaurant Month, become a sponsor, join as a participating restaurant, or use the digital pass. You will not want to miss our May Luncheon on May 11th featuring top local chefs discussing the evolution of Asian cuisine in Houston.

This month I’m also excited to introduce ACC member, Jason Jing, co-founder of Jascole Inc. Be sure to read more about him below. If you’re interested in learning more about Chamber activities and meeting other members, don’t miss our monthly Membership Orientation taking place Friday, April 14.

When people join the Asian Chamber of Commerce, they do so because they want to make connections and further develop their businesses. It is events like the ones we are hosting this month and into the summer that bring people together. Be sure to read through the many other resources and events we have coming in this newsletter and on our website. We hope to see you at our upcoming events.
