Throughout his tenure as U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry has emphasized the importance of promoting economic growth and vitality across the globe, and he has created a world-wide initiative to stimulate shared prosperity. During my two years as the U.S. Ambassador to Latvia, I believe we have made good progress in

these areas and we have strengthened commercial ties between Latvia and the United States. The AmCham’s role as the Embassy’s key partner made this possible.

Fostering ties between the United States and Latvia and between the United States and the EU is becoming even more important as we strive to create the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). AmCham members can contribute to the successful conclusion of TTIP by becoming TTIP advocates and ensuring that Latvia’s leaders and the general public understand what Latvia will gain from this landmark agreement. With

your help and leadership, the business links across the Atlantic will become stronger than ever before.

At AmCham’s Annual General Meeting in March, I spoke about the importance of creating shared prosperity within Latvia as it solidifies its path to sustainable

growth. AmCham members can be the leaders who help create a Latvia in which all people benefit from the achievements of business. Together we can help Latvia build a stronger future for the good of every Latvian.

The entire U.S. Embassy and I look forward to working with you to find original and creative ways in which we can continue to cooperate as long-

standing and successful partners. I am very confident that we will continue to make great progress together. Thank you for your partnership and for all your hard work.

Best regards,

Mark PekalaU.S. Ambassador

It is my pleasure to welcome you as the new President of AmCham Latvia and present to you the 2014/2015 Membership Directory.

It will be both an honor and a challenge for me, together with the Board and the Staff, to maintain the Chamber as the leading forum where the international business community of Latvia can exchange ideas, connect with decision-makers, encourage transparency and promote a positive business and investment climate, and also foster an environment where people want to live, work and raise their families.

We look forward to enhancing the Latvia-U.S. economic relationship and urging the government to implement reforms in order to increase the competitiveness of Latvia. Among our priorities this year are the enhancement of transatlantic trade and strategies in response to demographic change, with a special focus on healthcare. One of our major goals for the year will be to continue raising awareness about the benefits of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement between the United States and the European Union and making it a reality. AmCham will continue to serve its members, providing an extensive network of information, knowledge, and access to decision makers to keep our members abreast of issues affecting their businesses. We will continue our

thought leadership seminars, the Outlook seminar series, offering timely debates on the most pressing economic, legal and social issues of the day, including topics such as cyber security, healthcare and transatlantic trade. We will continue to promote corporate social responsibility and the development and prosperity of Latvia’s people with our first ever Human Development Award program, which we hope to make an annual event.

Please let us know if there are issues vital to your business where AmCham may be of assistance. Our future success depends on you, our members. Therefore I invite you to take an active role in the various programs offered by the Chamber, and, if you so desire, consider leading a working group in the field of your choice.

Thank you for being part of our business community and for your continued support. I look forward to building on our progress toward the goal of a better business environment in Latvia in the year to come. See you at the next event!

Sincerely,

Matiss Davis KukainisAmCham President
