American Business Council of Dubai & Northern Emirates
The American Business Council of Dubai and the Northern Emirates is a non-profit, voluntary association of individuals and companies whose objectives are: • To promote the development of commerce and investment between the United States of America and Dubai and the Northern Emirates (Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain). • To be a direct liaison with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and other chambers of commerce and business organizations, and to express the views of the local American business community to public and private interests in the United States. • To provide a forum in which American business executives in Dubai and the Northern Emirates and business executives with American interests may identify, discuss and pursue common interests regarding their activities. To work with individuals and organizations in Dubai and the Northern Emirates on matters of mutual interest. • To heighten awareness of Dubai’s commercial position in the Middle East among the American business community.In the afternoon of November 17, 1985 at the Galedaria Galleria in Dubai, the founding members of the American Business Council gathered for what was to be the first of many board meetings.The challenge of "making the American Business Council of Dubai a vital forum for exchange of ideas and the focus for a new understanding and spirit of cooperation between the American Business community and the UAE Business community of Dubai" was in progress. A constitution was adopted, by-laws were established, office space was leased and membership dues were collected. But what happened prior to that official meeting? What were the ingredients necessary to manifest the organization and who was responsible? Ted Old together with Karen Cragnolin and Chadbourne Park & Afridi approached the idea from different angles.In Mr. Old’s words, his vision of the ABC was "to raise the commercial profile of the American Community in the Emirates; to encourage UAE and the American Communities to move closer together in the sense of becoming more active together; and to promote a productive review of selected commercial issues in Washington to improve American commercial performance in the region." That vision is a reality as the ABC holds a strong and consistent membership of 450 American companies and individuals. Disputation haustellum remotability heterosmia endowments.
