Dear AmCham Members,
AmCham Committees are the heart of our organization. Our Committees drive the Chamberā€™s thought leadership, contribute to impactful programming, and ensure AmCham is at the forefront of current trends and events. They are also the foundation to our three strategic pillars – Advocacy, Insights, and Connections.
To better serve the needs of our members and reflect the changing business landscape, AmCham is updating our committee structure. We are excited to announce the following:
  • Committees are now organized into two categories ā€“ Sectorial and Functional.
    • Sectoral Committees capture key industry sectors while Functional Committees capture key functions that are relevant across all industries. Please see the graphic below for the updated committee restructure.
  • TheĀ Cybersecurity SubcommitteeĀ is a now a full committee.
    • Cybersecurity is critical in an increasingly digital world, and a top priority for business and governments. The increased engagement and activity under the Cybersecurity Subcommittee indicated a clear need for a full committee on cybersecurity matters.
  • AnĀ Environment & Sustainability CommitteeĀ has been created and is inclusive ofĀ the Built EnvironmentĀ andĀ Energy Committees.
    • Sustainability is an urgent social, environmental and government concern. The creation of the Environment & Sustainability Committee reflects the closely intertwined issues and partnerships between the built environment and energy sectors.
  • TheĀ Technology & Digital Innovation CommitteeĀ has been re-named theĀ Technology Media & Telecommunications (TMT) Committee.
  • TheĀ AmCham Women taskforceĀ has been made a full committee.
    • The growth and success of AmCham Women is a clear signal of the immense importance of gender diversity and equality in business and to our members. Elevating AmCham Women to a full committee will enable the Chamber to take a wider and more strategic approach in advancing women leaders in business in Singapore and the region.

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce the Co-Chair seats that are currently open or will soon be opening for nominations. If you are interested in learning more about being a Co-Chair and the nomination process, please contact Sagarika Senapaty, Head of Programs byĀ Friday, August 14, 2020.

  • Marketing & Communications ā€“ 1 seat open now
  • Supply Chain, Transportation & Logistics ā€“ 1 seat open now, 2 additional seats open in September 2020

One of our committee goals in 2020-21 will be to develop ā€œpoint of viewā€ papers that reflect the needs of the sectors and functions represented and shape our advocacy strategy on our membersā€™ behalf ā€“ helping to inform both the U.S. and Singapore governments. Our Mission to represent the voice of the American business community is only made possible with our membersā€™ active engagement and input with the Committees.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our Committees.

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
