NUSACC CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF SERVICEFifty years is a long time, especially in this day and age. With that in mind, the National U.S. – Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) is delighted to announce our golden anniversary year, marking five decades of service to the American and Arab business communities. Throughout this anniversary year, we will host a wide range of events, many of them virtual (for now). Later this month, for example, we will kick off our new Thought Leaders Series, which will feature some of the most notable business influencers in the United States and the Arab world. Our Chamber has reinvented itself many times over the past 50 years, but there is at least one constant: NUSACC has been – and continues to be – a lynchpin of U.S.-Arab trade and investment. We are proud of the successes that our Chamber has achieved over the past five decades, but we are even more proud of our contributions today to the next generation of American and Arab business leaders. From Team NUSACC to all of our stakeholders, we thank you for the opportunity to be of service, and we look forward to the next 50 years!
