Mr. Gil Cisneros
President and CEO
Chamber of the Americas
Denver, CO

Dear Gil,

At a time of globalization, high technology, and mega-corporations, the Chamber of the Americas, under your leadership, stands on the solid ground of human connections, face to face meetings, and respect for plurality and diversity of ideas and backgrounds.

On that basis, the Chamber of the Americas is a rare example of developing an international and hemispheric business approach, but with a local community impact and always with social responsibility. In fact, all the activities, events, meetings, and trade missions of the Chamber are oriented towards that goal.

I came to know you and the Chamber of the Americas in the early part of this decade. Since then, in my professional work as a journalist, I have had the opportunity of writing literally hundreds of stories about the Chamber, both for local and for national media outlets. But, even more important, I have had the privilege of meeting extraordinary and inspiring people that otherwise I could have never met.

It is my pleasure to recommend the Chamber of the Americas and all its services to anyone interested in doing business with Latin American and in promoting a better future for our hemisphere.

Sincerely,

Francisco Miraval

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
It is my pleasure to write this brief letter on behalf of the Chamber of the Americas. I became acquainted with the Chamber and with Gil Cisneros around the year 2001, after moving back to the Denver area. Since then I have watched the Chamber grow in membership and in the resources made available to the international community interested in developing ties with Latin America. I am sure this was due to Mr. Cisneros’ efforts on behalf of the Chamber. Because I know Latin America well, I can also tell that the Chamber is doing a great job to foster not only business relationships but also cultural knowledge.
Latin America is a special place for me, where I did business for over 25 years serving the automotive, manufacturing and mining sectors. Now, other interests have brought me to China where I currently live.
It is my pleasure to recommend the Chamber of the Americas, as they offer a special service  available to the community as a whole, that foster ties between Latin America and the U.S. This service needs to continue and any help provided to the Chamber would be highly appreciated by the business and community at large.
Sincerely,

Gil,

I wanted to write the Chamber and specifically you for your help and extremely quick turn around in getting the requested information to me and my company.  It is a real pleasure working with such high caliber personnel in a professional organization.  You had very little time to meet our requirements yet you were able to make it with time to spare! 

If you ever need a recommendation or if one of your potential members would like to speak with someone, please do not hesitate to provide them with my information.

Once again thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
