The Australian American Chamber of Commerce Texas (AACC Texas) was founded in 1988 in response to the growth of business and economic relations between Australia and Texas and other parts of the Southwest. AACC-Texas’s primary goal is to contribute to the ongoing growth of these ties. The AACC is an organization of business and professional persons committed to fostering business relations between Australia and the United States, promoting cross-cultural understanding, and enhancing the quality of life of Australian expatriates who live and work in the U.S. AACC-Texas is headquartered in Houston and incorporated in Texas as a non-profit corporation and is managed by a voluntary Board.
