Corporate Initiatives
 |
The Association’s wide variety of corporate programs provide high level forums for engaging in dialogue and discussion. The programs aim to build solid strategic allegiances between the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
The Association focuses its corporate programs towards educating its members about topical government, business and legislative issues that may affect corporate interests in the US or Australia, including for example trade and investment, tax or work visa issues.
The Association also offers opportunities for corporate members to discuss issues affecting the wider Australian and United States relationship. More>>

Business Council
The Business Council was established in June 2002 to develop and implement a strategy for corporate programs and activities for the benefit of all members and friends of the Association.
The primary function of the Council is to foster relations between the United States, Australia and New Zealand by educating members on topical issues which affect Australian and American companies. The Business Council works with American Australian Chambers of Commerce throughout the US, with similar associations in Australia, with the Australian and New Zealand Embassies in Washington and Consulates in New York, the US-NZ Council and the Australia United States FTA Business Group. The Business Council also holds social events during the year for corporate members, in order to facilitate networking opportunities.

Every year, the Association holds a Benefit Dinner to recognize important Australian-US business relations and to celebrate the scholars of its Education Fund. Proceeds from the Benefit Dinners go towards building the Education Fund and other programs of the Association.
