Advocacy
AmCham’s Government & Public Affairs Department
The Government & Public Affairs Department serves as the liaison between AmCham members and the Taiwan Government. It provides research, recommendations, and liaison coordination in support of Chamber-wide and Committee advocacy issues. It is also an important source of up-to-date information on government policies, legislation, and regulations for members, and offers valuable suggestions on how to overcome trade and investment barriers.
Much of the real work of the Chamber occurs at the committee level and many of AmCham’s successes in advocating for an improved business environment can be traced to them. AmCham Taiwan is comprised of 25 committees that represent and promote the specific interests of their fields of business. Each industry committee creates a Position Paper included in the annual Taiwan White Paper, which is presented to the government and the public as a summary of the current business climate in Taiwan for each specific field.
