Corporate Community Day

AmCham organizes business missions to other countries in the Asia to inform their governments and local business organizations about our members' regional operations and interests, and to convey our members' views on issues of concern in these countries.


	Corporate Community Day, an AmCham initiative, is a wonderful opportunity to build stronger ties between American organizations and the Singaporean community and to encourage employee volunteerism. The inaugural CCD was held in 2003 with six leading companies and 450 volunteers participating. It has since grown from strength to strength. Beneficiaries have included children's charities, the elderly and needy families. It is thanks to the strong and growing community spirit in Singapore that this event is now the largest one-day employee volunteer event in Singapore.
