ACCPN was established in January of 1998 and held the First Annual Africa Day Business Forum during the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Meeting in November of 1999. During the past ten years, ACCPN has continued to established itself as a focal resource for business partnerships between Africa and the Pacific Northwest.

ACCPN has partnerships with government trade related organizations and local non-profits as well as a strong network in the local business community. We are a resource for information on U.S. and African trade policy, and an advocate bringing attention to Africa’s increasing trade potential. The Chamber continues to work closely with Congressman Jim McDermott who is well-versed on African trade and the author of the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA).

The majority of our members are African immigrants who currently reside in the Pacific Northwest. Many are business owners who are interested in developing business opportunities with their homeland. We also have an active American membership that is interested in developing trade and investment opportunities in the many emerging markets across Africa. ACCPN has a solid membership base and is continuing to expand. Become a member today!
