Meeting with AmCham - the American Chamber of Commerce in Uganda

It was a pleasure to sit down with the American Chamber of Commerce in Uganda -- AmCham -- to discuss the newly launched Center for the Study of the United States at Makerere University and to explore avenues for partnerships between the Center and the American business community.

I have not been able to visit the US Embassy or the US Embassy American Center while in Uganda, due to the US federal government shutdown. This has been my biggest regret/disappointment about my Fulbright position here. So, imagine the pleasant surprise when I saw literature from the US Embassy on display at AmCham. I wasn't able to visit the American Center (or bring book donations or deliver a guest lecture) - but - I DO now have a copy of the brochure.

Sadly I will already be back in the US when the chamber presents this program for businesses on what they should know about how to prepare for election season in Uganda:
