Welcome to the San Francisco chapter of the
Australian American Chamber of Commerce.
|
|
 |
| |
Established
in 1981, the venerable Australian American Chamber of Commerce exists
to embody, promote and advance the Uniquely Australian Way to Work and
Play. This means taking a quintessentially Australian approach to both
business and pleasure, allowing for seriousness and fun, success and
relaxation.
It means
advancing the spirit of Australia and sense of fairness, fun and
adventure that we share with like-minded people in the US and
throughout the world.
We don’t take
ourselves too seriously, yet are driven to succeed. We fervently
believe in a balance between work and play, business and pleasure,
financial and social endeavours.
Fun and Fairness are Paramount.
Anyone
who feels the same, and shares our approach to life (both business and
social) would enjoy attending our events and becoming a fellow member.
Benefits are myriad, and include discounts, updates, newsletters and
the general comradery and tight connections of the Australian American
community here in the Bay Area (and by extension - throughout the
world)!
