The recently appointed Boards of Governors for HCMC from AmCham gathered for an energetic afternoon of brainstorming during our annual offsite strategy session on January 20. The session, skillfully facilitated by Van Ly, Partner of Raise Partners, provided a platform for collaborative discussions. The Board appreciated the Legal Committee Co-Chair Orsolya Szotyory-Grove, and F&B Committee Co-Chairs Vinh Nguyen and Minh-Ha Vu for sharing valuable insights into running their Committees effectively.
Following a productive session, the attendees enjoyed a breathtaking sunset view at the evening reception held at Sky Terrace on the 69th Floor of Vinpearl Landmark 81. It was a well-deserved reward after an afternoon of hard work.
We express our gratitude to the dedicated business leaders on our Board who generously contributed their time to enhance AmCham Vietnam's effectiveness in serving our members. With your continued support, we eagerly anticipate a dynamic and successful Year of the Dragon in 2024.
