The Agenda is structured to be an “overall” program for the Chamber, spearheaded by the China Business Committee with assistance from selected Board members and integrated with the Events Department, the Publication Department, and the other AmCham Committees. The program includes HK- and China-based (either English or Chinese or both) delegations, outreach meetings, Chamber-wide events and business briefings, etc.

· To reinforce Hong Kong as a “gateway to China” and also as a “gateway out of China.”
· To expand AmCham’s business network by recruiting new members from companies seeking to provide professional services to China business firms, and from China companies which want to go global.
