Subcommittees

Subcommittees are the lifeblood of the American Chamber of Commerce Coral Sea. Subcommittees meet on a regular basis and drive Chamber activities, including events, advocacy documents, and information sharing.  Subcommittees allow members to shape the agenda of the AmCham in issues relevant to their own business sectors and represent the interests of a diverse business community in the Coral Sea. 

Any AmCham member of good standing may join a subcommittee. For AmCham members interested in joining a subcommittee, please speak to a member of the Committee or staff or contact info@amchamcoralsea.org.
