Advocacy Week 2016

Being heard in Washington, D.C. can be hard to do from Abu Dhabi so USPAC takes advantage of its strong relationships with an array of strategic partners in the U.S. that we have developed over the years. In 2016, the committee engaged Williams & Jensen, a Washington, D.C. based high profile lobby firm that provides strategic guidance, so that our message is conveyed to the right policy makers and so that we make the most of our time on the ground while in Washington, D.C., as well as a sustained advocacy throughout the year. In connection with our 2016 AmCham Advocacy Week, USPAC had over 50 meetings on Capitol Hill with members and senior staff of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. AmCham Abu Dhabi also hosted a reception on Capitol Hill with remarks by Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs MENA Subcommittee Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and the U.A.E. Ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al Otaiba. In addition, meetings were held with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the U.A.E. Embassy in Washington D.C. Meetings with Obama administration officials were held at the U.S. Departments of Treasury, State and Commerce.
