Annual Report 2014 | Page 3

2014 Annual Report Message from the Board President and Executive Director Dear AmCham Macedonia members and friends – Thank you for taking the time to review our 2014 Annual Report. It’s very important to us that all of our stakeholders have a good sense of our membership, events and activities, advocacy efforts, administration and financial standing. We also hope you will find this year’s new online format more readable, efficient and practical. 2014 was a landmark year in many ways for our organization. We managed to both grow our membership and increase member engagement to 85%! It was also an important year on the advocacy front, as AmCham took a leading role in calling for greater public-private dialogue via a number of channels. We also greatly expanded the reach of our communications via both our own site and Facebook, which ensures our messages are reaching more and more people all the time. We are already working busily to maintain this momentum in 2015 to the benefit of our members and the country as a whole. Please feel free to contact either of us with your thoughts and ideas on how to continue to grow and expand the influence and impact of our organization! Sincerely, Miroslav Marchev, Board President and Michelle Osmanli, Executive Director 3
