All our members were company representatives and each company could only have one representative. After we amended our TCCBC By-laws on Feb 25, 1995, each company can now assign two representatives and also new applicants are no longer restricted to company owners. Professionals and self-employed are also welcomed to join us. TCCBC hosts an AGM to reelect all board of directors, including the president, each June.
Our mission is to create business opportunities for all our members. TCCBC is also a member of Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in North America (TCCNA) and World Taiwan Chamber of Commerce, which coordinate over 30,000 Taiwanese members in the world.
