AmCham Macedonia Fall 2015 (Issue 47) | Page 5

Dear AmCham Macedonia members and friends – Welcome to the fall 2015 edition of Emerging Macedonia. I hope you’ll find our coverage of outsourcing trends 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, I’m 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 inspiring speeches from U.S. Ambassador Baily as well as our Board President, Miroslav Marchev. Also, I’m confident the new members of our Board of Directors will help create a very dynamic, creative and impactful year ahead. On our events calendar still to come this year are our traditional Thanksgiving gathering as well as our annual holiday party. Even with these primarily social events, we hope to make an impact on the local community by again raising funds to support the Red Cross’ “Think of Us” campaign against hunger. We also plan to pull off another unique holiday party combining 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. Don’t miss it!
