Arab business where policy is made
Founded in Dearborn in 1992, the American Arab Chamber of Commerce was born here in the heart of the largest, most established Arab American community in the country. This is our home and headquarters.
The capital region is where national policy and federal contracts take shape and where the Arab American business community needs a strong, organized voice. Our office connects members to advocacy, procurement, and a national network of 1,800+.
