Advancing Business in the Americas
For nearly a century, the American Chambers of Commerce (AmChams) have been the most influential voice of U.S. business in Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, joined together in the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America, these 23 AmChams represent more than 20,000 companies and over 80% of U.S. investment in the region.

Acting in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — the world's largest business federation - AACCLA has become the premier advocate for U.S. business in the Americas. AACCLA's mission is to promote trade and investment between the United States and the countries of the region through free trade, free markets, and free enterprise.

 
     
 

The 23 AmChams in 21 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean provide a wide variety of services to their members and to the citizens of the countries in which they operate. The AmChams work diligently to contribute to the growth of trade and investment between their host countries and the United States. They represent companies and industry sectors involved in trade and promote the development of open markets and ethical business practices.

 
       
     
 

AACCLA is a strong advocate of free trade and free markets in the Americas. Through its Secretariat in Washington, DC, the Association serves as a liaison between the private sector and the U.S. Government and lobbies for policies that will improve trade relations within the hemisphere.
