FACC Chicago Chapter is one of 19 chapters of the French-American Chamber of Commerce in the U.S. We are an independent, non-profit, member-driven organization whose mission is to develop and promote a thriving economic relationship between the United States and France, as well as to serve the ongoing business needs of individual and corporate members throughout the greater Chicagoland area. The FACC achieves these objectives by facilitating information sharing, networking and by offering international business services.

However, we also exist to offer networking opportunities to the local business community at large. We feel very strongly that creating personal contacts is vital to our success. To foster the dialogue between various businesses and sectors, we organize international networking events such as luncheons, business card exchanges, thematic business seminars, etc.

Our members are businesses and individuals involved in French-American commerce. Professional relationships among our members are reinforced via access to our local and national membership directories.

The FACC is present in the following regions:
Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinatti, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Miami, Michigan, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New England, New York, Northern Ohio, Philadelphia, Rocky Mountain-Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Each Chapter is independent and elects its own directors, although each has the same general goals:

- To encourage the sale of goods and services between the two countries and to promote a better understanding of international relations.

- To provide information on the economic situation and the work environment in France as well as in the U.S.

- To work in France and in the U.S. with different governmental, economic, diplomatic and consular associations that pursue similar goals.

- To facilitate contact between our members and theirs so as to develop solid commercial, economic and financial relationship between the two countries.
