“I am a native Texan with Russian and Ukrainian roots, my mother being first-generation American. The desire to maintain a connection with the Russian-speaking world and its culture is what originally led me to this Chamber. Our goal is to draw support from the shared languages, history, and cultures that unite us, and to use that support to strengthen ourselves as professionals and individuals. We often say that we are ‘stronger together,’ and this is true– even business competitors stand to gain from networking together, as common goals can lead to collaborative efforts. We hope to serve not just as a foundation for our members to find the organization and support they need to thrive in the American market, but also as a trusted source of various business professionals for the local community. We invite all to be a part of our cultural and business network!”
