The CEO Message | May 2022

When former US Ambassador to Australia Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr took up his post in 2019, and knelt beside the Pool of Reflection at the Australian War Memorial, he was cognizant he had not simply received a diplomatic posting, but in his words, "a sacred trust."

 

This month, the US Senate confirmed Ambassador Caroline Kennedy would be the next guardian of the trust between our nations.

 

Our new Ambassador arrives at a critical juncture in the US-Australia Alliance. In mere days after becoming Australia's 31st Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese is already setting the course for the Alliance under the new Labor Government, travelling to Tokyo for the Quad Summit alongside new Foreign Minister Senator Penny Wong. AmCham congratulates Prime Minister Albanese and looks forward to engaging deeply across the breadth of the Alliance, which underpins our economic prosperity and national security.

 

As US said, "for more than seven decades, our alliance has been a force for good in the world," and we will keep working "shoulder-to-shoulder." This will continue to have profound implications for businesses.

 

Australia and the United States working closer together is generating more opportunities in the industries shaping our future economies - artificial intelligence, biotechnology, the digital economy, energy and clean technology, quantum computing, and space. We're gearing up for the highly-anticipated , a night of spectacular glitz and glamour to celebrate the emerging and exceptional talent in these key industries for US-Australia collaboration.

 

Are you a pioneer or an emerging change-maker, or is someone you know? Make sure to to be recognised on AmCham's night of nights.
