An article by FACC's Angela Bruns, Assistant Director/Event Coordinator, published in the May 2010 issue of ColoradoBiz Magazine:

"The French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACC) is continuing to make itself known around Colorado as an increasingly active international organization. Part of a global network of French chambers, the Rocky Mountain chapter is led by three women: Executive Director Virginie Ganivet, and her assistants, Sara Squires, and the author of this column, who are helping to put Colorado on the map in the eyes of the French business world. 

Some may consider Colorado/France relations to be an unlikely match, but believe it or not, French majority-owned companies with operations in the Rocky Mountain region rank fourth among foreign-owned companies in terms of number of employees. In the past year alone, the total dollar amount of our state's exports to France increased from $9 million to $10.4 million, according to the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade."  Read More>>>

Clear communication is key to success in the business world. Many ESL speakers struggle to make themselves understood. Language Consultants International's (LCI) Accent Reduction Program focuses on eliminating language barriers and miscommunications
that commonly occur when speaking English as a second language.
