Dear BACCF Members and Friends:

The BACCF begins 2012, with exciting events and opportunities to network and share information while continuing our mission of strengthening business ties between the U.S. and Brazil.

After an incredible year in which we celebrated the 30th anniversary with differentiated events and programs, we have a huge responsibility to maintain the same pace in 2012.

This year our annual “Feijoada” was held on Saturday, January 28 at Zucchero, thank you to our sponsors: TAM, FedEx, Electrolux, Fowler White & Boggs, Shutts & Bowen, AcheiUSA Newspaper, Adrienne Arsht Center, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Acontece, Itaipava, Leblon Cachaça, AdSalles, Inffinito Foundation, Forever Young MedSpa and Four Seasons Hotel who made this possible! Please check out the pictures by clicking here!

As you know, one of the BACCF’s main objectives is to stimulate trade exchange between the two countries. Following a survey conducted by IBOPE, the chamber will promote various events to educate our members on relevant developments and useful information between the two regions. Please review our upcoming events which are a great opportunity to foster business relations, increase your networking circle, while expanding your business’ visibility.
