What People Are Saying

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell:

"We are going to create new jobs and turn our economy around, and I look forward to working with the Vietnamese American National Chamber of Commerce in this effort.”

The Falls Church News Press:

"A major new national institution... Its growth... has been stunning, and its vision even greater... Well-developed ideas..."

Chau Tran, President of APS Pest Services, Inc.

“I think [VietAmCham is] going to help our business grow, at different levels, tremendously. It’ll open a lot of doors, big business opportunities that we small businesses cannot open ourselves.”

 Cindy Shao, President of Asian American Chamber of Commerce:

"Many businesses... want to do business with [Vietnamese businesses], but due to language and culture barriers, it is hard. VietAmCham can definitely serve as a bridge.”

Dane David, Heartland Payment Services

"It's important to have a chamber of commerce for Vietnamese American businesses. Over the years, I've seen how hard they work -- 12, 14, even 18 hours a day. Sometimes six, seven days a week. They're trying to grow their businesses, trying to make a better life for their family. They need sometone from the outside who's looking after them, who can give them resources, who can look at federal, state and local issues coming up."
