The BACC, with headquarters in New York, is setting up local chapters in the key hubs of Belgian-American corporate activity.
In 2009, the BACC established the Silicon Valley and the Atlanta Chapter. For 2010, Chicago-Detroit, Houston and Boston is on the agenda. Local chapters work under a united BACC flag wit identical strategic focus but have their own steering committee and president, who can define and organize local events and seminars.
In addition to this, the BACC regularly organizes local events in cooperation with local Chambers of Commerce, focusing a Belgian entrepreneurship in the US.
In 2010, events will be organised with the European-American Chamber in Cincinatti, Ohio and in St.Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Atlanta Hub had its rebirth on 19 February 2009. A number of dedicated people, with Mrs. Brigitte Peleman, Mr. Frederic Bien & Mr. Anton Mertens in the driving seat, are making it really happen in Georgia. The Atlanta agenda will be updated and published through the BACC site. Please feel free to contact Brigitte Peleman (bpeleman@peleman.com) for more information on what`s happening and shaking in the Greater Atlanta region.
The BACC NY Team, together with Claudine Descheemaecker (President of the Belgian Business Club in Palo Alto) exported the global Belgian-US networking concept in May 2009. We are currently exploring further models of cooperation. The Silicon Valley agenda will be updated and published through the BACC site.
