About 70 people enjoyed so many exciting
activities at the Asian American
Chamber of
Commerce’s Business After Hours event held
last October 22nd
at The Cattleman on International
Drive.
AACC members and guests began their business
networking by intermingling
amidst the perfect
Floridian weather outdoors on the new deck
of The Cattleman.
Joanne Mei Peytremann, an AACC Board Director and event chair, presented the special
guests, event sponsors and event speaker. They
included Justine Assal,
the President of the British
American Chamber of Commerce, Roberto Velasco,
the Vice President of the Peruvian
American Chamber of Commerce, Louis Huang,
the proprietor, and Bill Brown, the General Manager
of The Cattleman.
The AACC President, Glenn Leong, announced
the benefits of AACC membership:
primarily to help its AACC members and Asian
American community to weather the economic
challenges and grow our businesses together
by supporting our mutual interests. Among the benefits include the monthly networking events,
interactive use of our new website: www.asianamericanchambercfl.org that publicizes event
and job announcements, promotional marketing
among our AACC members’ websites, etc.
April Chang, the Partnership Specialist from
the US Department of Commerce was the guest
speaker. She explained “How the Census Counts
for Business.” It’s important
for each and all of us
to be counted in the
2010 Census because
accurate, complete demographic
statistics
enable better data for
marketing
research and
business decisions.
How else can we target
market to our clientele
without knowing their
profiles, by locality, age,
gender, education, ethnicity,
languages, etc.
The Cattleman’s Chef Omar Martinez teased
everyone’s taste buds by offering Blue Martinis
of mushrooms with potato gaufrettes, Cajun gato tails, fried mushroom caps with bacon horseradish
sauce, ribeye mini sliders, St. Louis dry ribs
and grilled tofu with tamarind glaze atop sway
fish cerviche.
So many new friendships were made and older
friendships renewed that many business cards
were exchanged with the intent of people seeing
each other after this rewarding AACC event.
Everyone was encouraged to return to AACC’s
next exciting event on November 19th: their
Annual Membership meeting with the election of
the new Board and Awards Dinner at Fresco’s
Italian Restaurant on Turkey Lake Road.
