Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean (AACCLA)

AACCLA forms its policy objectives through constant dialogue with its network of 22 AmChams in almost every country in Latin America. These consultations enable AACCLA to identify the most important issues to U.S. investors and their trading partners and to lobby effectively for policies that will address these concerns.

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, through the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean, these 22 AmChams represent more than 20,000 companies and over 80% of U.S. investment in the region.
