Chairman’s Message

On behalf of AmCham Abu Dhabi’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Director Liz Beneski, I thank our members and strategic
partners who are instrumental in helping AmCham Abu Dhabi thrive as a leading trade association not only in the Middle East & North Africa
(MENA) region, but also across the Global Network of AmChams.

2022 marks the 36 th year that AmCham Abu Dhabi has continued increasing commerce, investment, and goodwill between the United
States of America, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and the United Arab Emirates. We are honored and proud to contribute to the remarkable
transformation of Abu Dhabi and the U.A.E.

Our work remains more vital than ever before. Militarily, economically, and politically, U.S. interests in the U.A.E. drive business for positive
impact on the U.S.-U.A.E. relationship.

All nations measure their strength and address national security concerns through military, economic, and political power. Our job at AmCham
Abu Dhabi is to promote and support U.S. businesses in their efforts here in the U.A.E. while supporting the U.A.E.’s business with the U.S.
This has great impact on the power of both great nations and contributes to the political well-being of both, by reinforcing their ties through trade,
dialogue, and relationships.

Our daily mission is to support, build, and foster this longstanding relationship, and continue to nurture its growth and prosperity for the
benefit of all.

I look forward to serving as your Chairman of the Board and helping to lead the Strategic Vision of the incoming Board, an outstanding
representation of all that is possible when we work together.

Very truly yours,

Bob Harward
