The American Chamber of Commerce is a powerful network of like-minded people who work together to make Ireland the best location for US companies to thrive and grow. As we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the organisation this year it allows for a timely reflection of the impact the Chamber has had on communities across the country at that time.

When you do this, you realise that there is hardly an aspect of our community or society that has not benefitted in some way. From how the next generation is educated, to how we work, spend our leisure time, communicate, stay informed to the career possibilities now available – without having to leave our region or our shores – the scale of the transformation has been truly remarkable.
