The twenty, in their own order
These Committees allow American and non-American businesses to synergize to promote common goals and objectives aimed to bring solidarity of interests and development of the business environment.
And four more that do not sit on the sector map
Their governance sentence names twenty standing committees and four internal ones. The four are not named here, because their page does not name them.
Its operations are overseen by an annually elected Board of Directors comprising ten members, supported by twenty standing committees and four internal committees whose chairpersons and members are chosen from the General Membership. The National Capital Region (NCR) office is staffed by a permanent team, led by the Executive Director, who functions as the Chamber’s full-time executive leader.
Three advocacies with their own names
Each of these has a page of its own on their site. The descriptions are theirs.
