Dear BACCF Members and Friends:

The BACCF begins 2012, with exciting events and opportunities to network and share information while continuing our mission of strengthening business ties between the U.S. and Brazil.

After an incredible year in which we celebrated the 30th anniversary with differentiated events and programs, we have a huge responsibility to maintain the same pace in 2012.

This year our annual “Feijoada” was held last Saturday, January 28 at Zucchero, thank you to our sponsors: TAM, FedEx, Electrolux, Fowler White & Boggs, Shutts & Bowen, Achei USA, Adrienne Arsht Center, Itaipava, Leblon Cachaça, AdSalles, Inffinito Foundation, Forever Young and Four Seasons Hotel who made this possible! Please check out the pictures by clicking here!

As you know, one of the BACCF’s main objectives is to stimulate trade exchange between the two countries. Following a survey conducted by IBOPE, the chamber will promote various events to educate our members on relevant developments and useful information between the two regions. Please review our upcoming events which are a great opportunity to foster business relations, increase your networking circle, while expanding your business’ visibility.

Be sure to advertise in our annual directory! This is the opportunity to promote your business in Brazil and the US. As a special opportunity for BACCF Members, we are offering ads starting as low as US$540! For many years our directory has been used by our members as their primary desk reference for membership, trade information, and vendors and clients related into the US/Brazil business.

Your continued support is truly appreciated and we look forward to meeting with you at all upcoming events.

Best Regards,

Saulo Ferraz
President 2012
