LISTINGS 12 New and Renewed Members 10 SPRING/ SUMMER 2016 CHALDEAN COMMERCE 3 Greetings OUR MISSION from the chairman and president The Chaldean-American Chamber of Commerce is a partnership of Chaldean businesses and professionals working together to strengthen members’ business, increase job opportunities, encourage expansion and promote Chaldean business and culture. The Chamber seeks to service and represent Aramaic-speaking people, including Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syriacs. The Chaldean Community Foundation, the notfor-profit arm of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, is dedicated to advancing the needs of the Chaldean American community and the communities in which they live and work through education, charitable giving and advocacy. 4 It’s been a great first half for the Chaldean Chamber as 2016 has yielded a plethora of successful events, initiatives and new opportunities. Given the perpetual support and generosity from members such as you, the Chamber continues to be the premier organization for planning and economic development in the Chaldean community. We take tremendous pride in serving you as we realize our success is predicated upon the high caliber of members that we represent. As we enter into the next quarter SAAD ABBO MARTIN MANNA of this year, we have much to be proud of. The year is only half way gone and we’ve already hosted multiple successful networking events, luncheons, town hall meetings and career fairs. In particular, this year’s Thirteenth Annual Awards dinner stood second to none as we honored one of Time Magazine’s most influential people in the Country, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and the General Motors dealers of the year, Bas and Tanya Robin. The annual gala was a sold-out success and attracted more than 900 corporate, civic and community leaders. In addition to the Chamber’s success, we are elated to announce that since opening its doors more than seven months ago, the new Chaldean Community Foundation center has helped meet the needs of thousands and is on track to service more than 20,000 individuals by the end of this year. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, volunteers, members and donors, those in need have been given a new creed of hope and a chance at a “New Life in a New Land.” While we are proud of our recent accomplishments, we realize that there is still room for improvement and more work to be done. For the remainder of the year, we will be working to provide more networking opportunities and educational forums to aid your business. We look forward to launching new initiatives that bring increased benefit and value to your membership. In closing, we thank you for your partnership and for granting us the privilege to serve. We are grateful for the contributions that you have provided both the Chamber and Foundation. We stand confident in knowing that with your support we will continue to grow stronger as one of the largest ethnic chambers in the country. Yours in Service, Saad Abbo Martin Manna ChairmanPresident CHALDEAN COMMERCE SPRING/ SUMMER 2016 Acknowledgments Special thanks to those who have contributed to or supported our activities during the past few months.
