Our monthly Business After Hours in June was hosted by Rocket Bean Roastery. Rocket Bean founders shared their journey in creating a successful brand that revolves around a true passion for coffee. Members enjoyed food and drink and participated in a taste test.

On June 15, members visited the State Revenue Service to meet with the Director General Ilze Cīrule, had a tour through the new headquarters, seminar on taxes, EDS and data security as well as engaged in a thoughtful Q&A session.

June's Meet AmCham event, filled with new insights and fun, was a success. AmCham's new members of 2016/2017 were introduced, and speakers Vanda Dauksta (Riga Toastmasters) and Elena Zlygosteva (Career Evolution Coaching) offered strategies to succeed as networkers in the business world. Members participated in interactive workshops to practice their networking skills.

The main theme for this year's High Council was chosen topic "Do!" as messages for the government: Have confidence in your recent actions, be brave for your new implementations, build trust, build your legacy.
