American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia YEARBOOK 2010
E-Bulletin
Each Tuesday, invitations, reminders,
members’ news, and other useful information from
AmCham Croatia, as well as other important business
and cultural announcements are distributed
to all members. It is also another great tool at our
membership’s disposal – in the Members News
section of the bulletin we publish various news and
announcements from our members.
Website
We are especially proud with the content of
AmCham website: informative, up-to-date calendar
of AmCham events, easy to access members
list, announcements, useful links and extensive
‘members only’ area. AmCham’s website also provides
information regarding AmCham’s services,
the benefits of membership and committees. It
briefly introduces AmCham and permits prospective
members to download an application form. It
is regularly updated with news, useful information
and new content. We have started working on the
re-design of our website, and plan to re-launch it
by the end of the year.
Member to Member
Discount Program (M2M)
This free of charge program is a wonderful
marketing opportunity that AmCham provides to
increase the awareness and profile of its members.
All participants in the program have increased use
of their goods and services by fellow Members.
AmCham is strongly promoting the use of the discount
program among the Membership by circulating
the specific discounts offered by our member
companies through the E-Bulletin, AmCham website,
News & Views Magazine and special Quarterly
Bulletin.
AmCham Events
AmCham Croatia continues with organizing
many different business, fun & leisure, charity
and cultural events. Our events are the meeting
and networking point for AmCham members and
friends, but also a fantastic way of lobbying and
promoting progressive business activities.
AmCham Lunches

trademark. All our keynote speakers addressed

AmCham’s Cocktails
Another AmCham trademark, the sponsored
cocktails provide an opportunity for members
to present their companies, products or
services. At the same time, it is a place where
members and their guests socialize and meet
new business partners and members have found
these cocktails very beneficial to their businesses.
We thank the following companies for sponsoring
our cocktails:
