A Word of Thanks
from the Executive Director

Greetings, Bonjour!
From Odile Hédoire-Young, Executive Director
Fall is traditionally a very busy time of the year for the French-American Chamber of Commerce but the past couple months have been exceptionally busy! Where did September go?
Part of the reason we've been so busy is that the French-American Chamber of Commerce had the privilege to be trusted by all Euro-Chamber partners to lead the organization of the Fall Euro-Cocktail on September 21st. We value w
orking together in partnership
and this turned out to be a fabulous experience! In all honesty, I can't help but to think that joining forces as Euro-Chambers is the way moving forward in the interest of our business community. Let's see what the future holds, and for now let me just say Thank You All! Un Grand Merci à Tous! Members and members to be, sponsors and in-kind donors, all business partners including the Guthrie Theater, and special thanks, kiitos to Jaana Taulio Nystrom from the Finnish Chamber.
See you soon, à bientôt!
Odile
