About the US-APEC Business Coalition
The US-APEC Business Coalition was formed in 1993 to coordinate U.S. business input for the first APEC Leaders Meeting at Blake Island. Now in its fourteenth year, the Coalition brings together the leading U.S. business associations active on APEC and Asian business affairs in support of U.S. business goals and priorities in the APEC process. The Coalition, in which the Council is a founding member, is made up of the following organizations: Council of the Americas, National Center for APEC, US-ASEAN Business Council, US-Asia Pacific Council, US Chamber of Commerce, US-China Business Council and US-Japan Business Council, US Council for International Business and several others.
