AmCham Haiti > Committees

Committees

Amcham Haiti has several Committees that enable our Members to meet on specific sectors on subjects. Through our Committees, Amcham Haiti has about 35% of its Members actively participating in our monthly meetings, looking to solve issues affecting  a specific sector. The Committees advise the Board on key actions to take, which are then voted by the Board. Each Committee has a Chairman which is voted by the Members of the Committee following our General Assembly and Elections held in the 1st Quarter each year.

If you are interested in joining a Committee or creating a new Committee, please contact Tarah B. Perrault at Tbourjolly@amchamhaiti.com
