The French-American Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco has rebranded as the French-American Chamber of Commerce of California SF-LA, reflecting its expanded reach across the entire state, from Sacramento to Los Angeles. For over 46 years, the Chamber has fostered business relations between France and the San Francisco Bay Area, driving economic and cultural exchanges. The name change symbolizes a strategic shift to tap into California’s diverse industries, including tech, entertainment, and aerospace.
According to President Thomas Célérier, “We are committed to supporting French and American companies by strengthening collaboration as they navigate and thrive in one of the most dynamic economic regions in the world.”
As part of this expansion, Aurélie Brisac has been appointed Deputy Director for Los Angeles to lead Southern California operations. Her role will focus on building business opportunities and deepening French-American business exchanges.
Anne-Emmanuelle de Boysson, Executive Director, will continue to lead the San Francisco chapter while managing the Los Angeles operations and leveraging the synergies between the two hubs.
Looking Ahead
This new chapter represents an exciting opportunity for the Chamber to enhance its services and impact across California, while staying true to its mission of promoting strong French-American business relations. The Chamber’s dedication to its values and to its members remains steadfast as it continues to serve as a vital platform for fostering collaboration, growth, and innovation.
Stay tuned for a launch event coming soon.
