Each year, AmCham President Andrew Somers leads a delegation of top executives from American businesses operating in Russia to meetings in Washington, D.C. These senior managers bring a compelling message of business success in Russia to various government representatives from the legislative and executive branches. Typically, delegations meet with the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, State and the Treasury, as well as with the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Export-Import Bank and with congressmen.
