Advocacy

Four committees. Sixty-seven specialists from member firms.

AmCham Armenia Committees serve as the strategic engine of the Chamber’s advocacy efforts. By mobilizing the collective expertise of our member companies, these platforms actively shape policy dialogue and contribute to a transparent, competitive, and business-friendly environment in Armenia.

How the committees work

Their own account of the structure, the cycle and who they work with.

Our committees comprise dedicated specialists from member firms and are chaired by members of the AmCham Board of Directors. To ensure both strong strategic oversight and robust member-driven participation, a Co-Chair is elected directly from the committee’s active membership.

Established in 2019, the committee platform operates on a two-year cycle. It provides members with a structured forum to raise industry concerns, drive priority agendas, contribute to national policy discussions, and draft targeted position papers that inform AmCham’s high-level stakeholder engagement.

To advance meaningful reforms, our committees regularly collaborate with diverse institutional partners, including fellow AmCham committees, government and parliamentary counterparts, international organizations, and leading business associations.

The four committees

Four committees, and four is the number the chamber states. Each chair named here is named by the chamber itself: the Tax and Legal chair and co-chairs are printed on the advocacy page, and the other three are named in their own board members’ biographies and in their newsroom. Co-chairs are published for the Tax and Legal Committee only, so only that one is shown with them.

Tax and Legal Committee
Dedicated to improving Armenia’s legal and regulatory environment by promoting transparent policies that support economic growth, investment, and innovation. Its current areas of focus include labor legislation, tax regulations, investment laws, digitalization initiatives, and other regulatory matters impacting the business community. Chair: Nerses Nersisyan, KPMG in Armenia. 22 named members.
Sustainable Development Committee
Established to advance sustainable business practices and foster a culture of environmental and social responsibility within the Armenian business community. Its focus includes the Sustainable Waste Management Initiative, the development of Armenia’s Extended Producer Responsibility legal framework with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the AUA Acopian Center for the Environment, and packaging waste management pilot projects through the Ecopak NGO, founded by AmCham Armenia.
