Since 2012, the GAACC’s success has relied on the guidance and engagement of the talented local leaders who serve on our Board of Directors. Each of them has left an indelible, individual mark on the Chamber, how we operate, and how we support the Central Texas Asian business community.

Our deepest, ongoing appreciation goes out to these remarkable individuals for their service, generosity, and dedication.
