What a way to start a new organization! Congrats to NorCham Washington DC for hosting the official launch of NorCham USA last Thursday. A special thanks goes to NorCham USA’s amazing Executive Director Chloé Linn Friberg and NorCham President Idar Voldnes for making it all happen. We were honored to have in attendance Ambassador Anniken Krutnes and thank her for her pointed and kind remarks. We were also excited to welcome our 6th chapter to the growing NorCham family - Minneapolis (“The Twin Cities”)! We look forward to partnering with #NorwayHouse and the many Norwegian companies in Minnesota.
Thank you to everyone for joining us last night at the NorCham USA launch in Washington DC. We are excited to grow the many opportunities for Norwegian-American industries across the US with 5 chapters affiliated, and more to come! And we are also excited to reveal our 6th incoming chapter, NorCham Minneapolis! We were honored to have representatives from NorCham Philadelphia, Chicago, DC and Minneapolis with us, knowing Seattle and LA were there in spirit! To top it off, we enjoyed state of the art fireworks from the Kennedy Center to amplify our celebration - no, we can’t take credit for this beautiful show, but we would have loved to claim it ;) Thank you to our generous sponsors Lockheed Martin, Teledyne FLIR & Innovation Norway! Lastly, a special thank you to Norwegian Ambassador Anniken Krutnes for the continuous support & cooperation! NorCham Chicago NorCham Philadelphia, Inc.
