On the evening of October 17, AmCham China hosted the 2025 Supply Chain Navigator Program Award Dinner at the China World Summit Wing in Beijing. AmCham China President Michael Hart and Manufacturing, Sourcing, Supply Chain and Customs (MSSC) Committee Co-Chairs Jonathan Kendrick and David Song joined the celebration, marking the conclusion of the second cohort of the MSSC Committee’s Supply Chain Navigator Program.
Prior to the dinner, participants attended a special sharing session where Kendrick and Co-Chair Chuck Brown – a graduate of the inaugural cohort – reflected on their years of experience working in China and shared stories from their professional journeys.
The Supply Chain Navigator Program compiles immersive learning, industry engagement, and meaningful exchange. From thought-provoking seminars to exclusive site visits, this year’s program offered participants a glimpse into the dynamic world of manufacturing and supply chain development.
The Navigator Program aims to be more than just an educational experience; it serves as a platform to foster deeper dialogues and cross-sector connections. This year’s cohort brought together a diverse mix of scholars, lawyers, supply chain professionals, manufacturing experts, and finance practitioners. Each session offered valuable opportunities to meet peers, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships across industries.
