Special Events Travel |

NACC’s annual
meeting of members is hosted each year by a local
chapter. Recent meetings have included visits to San
Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago and Washingtonn, D.C.
Many of our members look forward to these trips as
excellent opportunities to develop national contacts
with others in the Norwegian American business community.
NACC annual meeting participants also benefit from
briefings by organizations under the ‘Team Norway’
umbrella: Embassy, Consulates, Norwegian Information
Service, Innovation Norway/Trade and Tourist Board,
Norwegian Industry Attachés, and others whose
autumn meeting is coordinated with the NACC meeting.
From time to time, individual chapters also host special
travel events, which would typically be made available
to all members. |
