Last night, the Australian American Chamber of Commerce Pacific Northwest board had the honor of attending a reception with the Australian American Leadership Dialogue in Seattle. The event, hosted by Amazon at The Spheres, brought together influential leaders, distinguished guests and change-makers dedicated to strengthening the deep ties between Australia and the United States. The Australian American Leadership Dialogue (AALD) is a private diplomatic initiative that unites leaders from Australia and the United States across government, business, space and technology, media, education, and community sectors to collaboratively strengthen and shape the bilateral relationship. AACC Pacific Northwest board member Michael Brett, a Young Leader Delegate with the AALD, MC'd the event. Other local notable figures to attend included City of Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and Amazon SVP Neil Lindsay. A huge thank you to the AALD and Amazon for hosting the event, and to all who attended for making it a memorable evening. Martin Gorman Christie Moffat Jordan Reichelt Jay P.

As part of the recent US Trade and Investment aftercare Mission in October, a milestone Strategic Cooperation Agreement was signed between Washington State and Tasmania. This Strategic Cooperation Agreement aims to accelerate trade, investment, skills, and industry outcomes between our two states, which share a number of similarities. "Washington has become fast friends with Tasmania lately. I think it's because we have a similar view on the future - a cleaner one - and we both aim to seize that potential," said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee. #tradetasmania
