Every organization experiences change. The fortunate ones also get to experience growth. I’m proud to say that the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce (GAACC) falls into that second category—undergoing consistent, intentional, and forward-thinking growth.
Not only are we expanding in terms of membership and the variety of programs and events we offer in service to our community, but we’re also seeing significant growth at the highest levels of our organization. This reflects our ongoing commitment to evolving in ways that best support our mission and the businesses we represent.
I am pleased to announce that GAACC has added seven new members to our Board of Directors, growing the Board to a new total of 19 dynamic and thoughtful business leaders.
Please join me in welcoming these talented new Directors to the Board:

When it comes down to it, fortune and luck are a small part of the equation for this growing organization. The Chamber’s success owes more to the hard work of our staff, the support and guidance of our Board, and the incredible engagement and love we experience every day from you – our valued community.
On behalf of the GAACC, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to the exciting growth and progress ahead.
Thank you,
