On the evening of July 4, the AmCham China Northeast Chapter welcomed business leaders and local professionals for an unforgettable Independence Day celebration at the Grand Hyatt Dalian’s Smoke House Terrace. Set against the stunning backdrop of Xinghai Bay, guests enjoyed an evening of networking, entertainment, and delicious cuisine—making it one of the chapter’s most anticipated events of the year.
The evening opened with remarks, including a farewell speech by departing Chapter Chair Dr. Richard Swann, who reflected on his leadership and shared thoughts on the future of the Northeast Chapter. EC member Dorman Kwan also gave a farewell address.
The Chapter also introduced its new leadership team: Olive Liu as Chair, Ladon Ghalili as Vice Chair, and Robin Zhang as a new EC member. The leadership transition marked an exciting new adventure for the Northeast Chapter.
Guests tested their knowledge in a 4th of July-themed quiz to win some fantastic prizes. The gourmet BBQ buffet was a standout, featuring a range of grilled specialties expertly prepared by the Grand Hyatt’s culinary team. As the evening came to a close attendees enjoyed watching the sun set over Xinghai Bay.
Thank you to our generous sponsors and to Northeast Chapter community for showing up in full force for this annual celebration!
