Dear AmCham Macedonia members and friends –
Welcome to the fall 2014 edition of Emerging Macedonia. I hope you’ll find our coverage of social media
trends in the world and in Macedonia useful for your organization. While this is certainly one of the
busiest periods in the fiscal year as well as in the private lives of our readers, we’re glad you found time
to tune into some of the hot topics garnering attention among our members.
It was a pleasure to host so many members for our annual general assembly just a few weeks ago. Those
present benefitted from an inspiring speech from U.S. Ambassador Wohlers, which I believe inspired
many members to engage more in AmCham’s mission and vision. Also, the new additions to our Board
of Directors is certain to enable another dynamic, creative and impactful year in our organization.
On our events calendar, still to come this year are our traditional Thanksgiving gathering as well as our
annual holiday party. Ambassador Wohlers will join our Thanksgiving reception as the guest of honor
on November 20th where we will recognize the efforts of a number of volunteers who have ensured the
sustainability and success of our joint initiatives over the past year.
This year’s holiday party will again combine several great American traditions: jazz, delicious holiday
food and American beverages. If you ask fellow members about last year’s party, I’m sure they’ll
encourage you to join us and bring your spouse, clients, business partners and government contacts.
The festivities will kick off at 7:00 pm on Friday, December 12th at the Vodenica Restaurant wine bar.
Don’t miss it!
With best wishes for an enjoyable and safe holiday season,
Michelle Osmanli
