Established in 1994, AmCham Vietnam previously operated through two independent chapters in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. After 32 years, members from both chapters recently approved new bylaws, establishing a national organizational structure.

This historic vote led to the election of AmCham Vietnam's first national Board of Directors, comprising 27 members who represent over 650 businesses and nearly 3,000 individual members across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Central region.

Mark Gillin, Founder and CEO of America Indochina Management and former Chairman of AmCham Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, was elected Chairman of the unified AmCham Vietnam. Gillin emphasized the unification as an important milestone, designed to foster a unified voice and strengthen business relations between the US and Vietnam.

As one of the largest foreign business associations in Vietnam, AmCham Vietnam plays a vital role in promoting bilateral trade and investment. The organization features 14 diverse committees, including: capital markets and financial services, digital economy and technology, ESG, food and beverage, healthcare, supply chain and logistics, and manufacturing.
