Corporate Initiatives

 

CORPORATE OVERVIEW

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.

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.

The Association holds an Annual Benefit Dinner for the corporate membership, honoring prominent individuals who have furthered US / Australian relations.  The dinner is held in New York City and benefits the Association’s Education Fund. 

The 2007 honoree was W. James McNerney, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO, The Boeing Company.

The 2008 benefit dinner will recognize all ten of the honorees from our previous dinners and will be held on
