美国佛州华商总会宗旨
佛州华商总会,Florida Chinese Business Association,简称:FLACBA,成立于2014年。华商总会的宗旨,就是为在南佛州的华商提供咨询,帮助,交流的一个平台。把我们现有的资源整合、互助合作,形成一种良性互动。用一句话概括:致力于打造一个促进南佛州华人商业活动的平台。
这个平台我们想从以下3各方面去发挥它的作用。
1.交流的平台:我们要将这个商会打造成南佛州华人商业交流的门户,包括对外以及内部的商业交流。(1)协助华人新移民寻求创业渠道和提供创业支持,使更多的新移民安居南佛州;(2)为在大迈阿密都市圈的华人企业、中资企业提供支持,(3)作为代表与本地其他商业协会进行交流,以促进华人企业与当地企业之间横向经济合作及双向交流,发挥桥梁和纽带的作用;(4)通过领馆和政府促进中国大陆与地方政府的商业交流,促进当地经济发展及优化投资模式;(5)与美国本地政府建立一定的联系,为广大华商创造良好的商业环境。
2.发声的平台:团结所有在南佛州的华人企业,组成我们自己的团体,表达我们自己的诉求,保护我们自己的权益。我问大家一个问题:10年,美国公民,有多少人真正把美国当成家的。我们要尽最大努力把南佛州的企业家,银行家,律师和各个专业的精英,团结在商会周围,加强与其他中国商业团体的对话,使我们的平台成为一个重要的信息集散地。另外身为移民的我们应深知在异乡经济基础并不一定决定上层建筑,因此加强与美国当地政府的对话也是十分必要和重要的。例如最简单的诉求:随着旅游业的发展,国内与迈阿密直航问题,我们是可以尝试推动解决的。我们坚信如果我们强大了,我们就能是主流。
3.回馈的平台:最后一个要强调的我们平台的作用就是回馈华人社区,支持当地的华人社团,定期举办周边高校应届华人学生的招聘会,为更多优秀的华人学子提供就业机会留在迈阿密发展。另外,目前中国人主流中有钱的人不少但是品味与气质欠佳,这也非常不利于我们真正融入当地社会和被认同。老话说的好,变则通,通则久,改变海外华人形象也是我们刻不容缓的社会责任。
迈阿密是美国第十一大城市,整个地区拥有人口250万,其中迈阿密市人口超过36万;迈阿密位于佛罗里达半岛比斯坎湾,是美国佛罗里达州第二大城市,2008年被《福布斯》杂志评为“美国最干净的城市”;2009年被瑞士联合银行评为“美国最富裕城市”和“全球第五富裕城市”;迈阿密所在的南佛罗里达州都市区是仅次于东京的世界第二大都市区;迈阿密不仅是通往拉丁美洲的门户,而且是一个国际性的贸易、商业中心;迈阿密是除了纽约之外的全美国际金融业务中心,有“中南美贸易金融之都”之称,拥有100多家外国银行,美国前20大银行的Bank of America、Citibank、First Union Corp、Nation Bank及Sun Trust Bank等均在迈阿密设有分行;迈阿密国际机场是在美国际货运排名第一的国际机场;迈阿密是许多跨国公司的拉丁美洲地区总部,例如美洲航空公司、思科、迪士尼、埃克森美孚、联邦快递、微软、甲骨文、美国电报电话公司(AT&T)和索尼等。
迈阿密三面环水,阳光充足,气候宜人,有著名的南迈阿密海滩,毗邻迷人的加勒比海,神秘的百慕大三角,这是一座充满南美风情的拉丁美洲之都。南佛州拥有300多座高尔夫球场,数千块网球场,吸引着世界顶尖高手云集迈阿密。北纬26°,向来就是地球上优美风景的代名词。北纬26°上有四季如春的高原明珠云南昆明、生态优美的贵州贵阳、浪漫的夏威夷、秀丽的迈阿密、绚烂的冲绳……
迈阿密不仅是一个旅游之都,还是一个生机勃勃的城市。迈阿密地处通往拉丁美洲的咽喉,南美贸易快速增长,有美国最繁忙的集装箱码头,港口,机场,并逐步形成了以南美贸易为主导的金融中心,Brickell 大道被称为华尔街第二。随着美国和古巴的关系回暖,双方正式恢复外交关系,美国对古巴的贸易必将吸引众多商家的目光,必将成为又一个经济热点。而迈阿密地区移民占人口的80%以上,是各种文化的交集地,对新移民有一种天然的包容,使新移民可以很快融入社会。所以,迈阿密还是一个充满友善,充满机会的城市。经济与文化的繁荣相得益彰,迈阿密是一个文化大熔炉,受庞大的拉丁美洲族群和加勒比海岛国居民的影响很大,与北美洲、南美洲、中美洲以及加勒比海地区在文化和语言上关系密切,因此有时还被称为“美洲的首都”。
去年随着川普当选美国总统,而川普最喜欢的海湖庄园就在迈阿密北部,离迈阿密仅一个多小时的车程,被称为南方的小白宫。川普在海湖庄园接待了诸多国家元首,习主席的的到访更是吸引了世人的目光,使得迈阿密地区又成了一个政治中心。
随着中国经济的高速发展,我们海外华人,也因此进入了一个扬眉吐气的时代。就迈阿密地区而言,二十年前的迈阿密,很少见到中国面孔,到今天,仅在迈阿密戴的县,2010年人口普查,华人有2万3千多人,南佛州3郡超过5万华人。来自中国的资金,海外华人的资金在南佛州的活动日益增强,在当地活跃着一批华人企业家,涉及金融,医疗,制药,IT,运输,贸易,养殖,房地产,旅游,教育,等各个领域,取得了令人瞩目的成绩。马上投资兴建的迈阿密最高楼,就将贴上华人的名字。
由迈阿密戴的县和北迈阿密滩市政府共同推动的中国城项目,正在如火如荼的进行中,迈阿密中国城10几年以来经过几批中国人的努力都没有成功,今天,由美国市政府从政府层面主动推动的中国城项目,在美国尚属首次。我想,这一切都得益于祖国经济的蓬勃发展。
中国作为世界经济的引擎,已经领跑世界经济10年有余,取得了令人瞩目的成绩。特别是十九大以来,以习近平主席为核心的中国政府提出的中长期目标,尤其是“一带一路”的战略构想,吸引着世界的目光。围绕着“中国梦”,习主席提出的以经济文化为主导,使中国全面进入小康社会,更是振奋人心。借助十一月美国总统川普访华,我们向世人展示了五千年中华文化的深厚底蕴和中国的无穷魅力,在世界范围内掀起了学中国文化,讲中国故事的热潮,习主席也自称是“讲中国故事”的第一人。因此,我们南佛州华商总会有必要抓住这个历史楔机,以商会为主体,以中国文化传播与教育基金会为后盾,建立面向美国大众的高端平台,凝聚有实力的商业人士和教育家。以巩固佛州“习川会”的成果为主因,落实“习川会”的具体措施,具体项目,纳入中国一带一路的战略规划,逐步形成以中国文化为主导,充分发挥迈阿密作为美国第二大金融城市,中南美洲的金融中心这样一个桥头堡的作用。
2018年总商会活动规划:
1. 2018年2月24日,举办春节交流晚宴:一带一路与佛州经济及在佛华商如何参与的研讨会。
2. 一带一路与佛州经济及在佛华商如何参与的经济论坛,可在习川会一周年纪念日(4月6号附近)。
3. 作为少数族裔的华商如何成为政府采购的供应商。
4. 如何利用印第安族裔的免税区,扩大生意圈,以及如何引进中国政府资金
5. 推进迈阿密及附近的城市与中国城市建立友好姐妹城市
6. 如何利用品牌中国,引进中国的高端产品
7. 如何切实推动迈阿密和中国的直航

The Florida Chinese Business Association (referred to as “the Association” or “FLACBA”, henceforth) was founded in 2014, aiming to provide a platform for the Chinese business owners in South Florida to consult, communicate with and help each other; to integrate and consolidate our existing resources within the network; and to foster proactive and healthy interaction and collaboration among Association members. We are committed to forge an enabling platform to promote the commercial and business activities of the Chinese community in South Florida.
As law-abiding citizens and/or permanent residents of the United States, it is crucial for the Chinese American business community, to keep ongoing dialogues and strengthen communication with the local governments and other business organizations and entities and integrate gracefully and seamlessly into the local mainstream society. We are confident that our integration and participation will contribute greatly to the local economy.
FLACBA as the Center of Influence in the local Chinese business community, will enhance its leadership through the following 3 aspects:
FLACBA aim to establish itself as a gateway to facilitate Chinese Business Communication both locally and internationally.
1) Assist new Chinese immigrants to start their businesses by providing entrepreneurial support;
2) Support the Chinese enterprises and Chinese funded enterprises alike in the Greater Miami Metropolitan area;
3) Serve as the representative of local Chinese enterprises when connecting and communicating with other business associations and entities in Florida to promote business collaborations;
4) Network with the Consulate of China and the local governments and Chambers of Commerce to promote international business cooperation, to enhance local economic development and to optimize the investment environment;
5) Establish a solid connection with local governments, to develop and nurture a positive and enabling business environment for Chinese business owners.
FLACBA aims to unite all the Chinese enterprises in South Florida, to forge a strong fellowship within our business community; to express the demands, protect the rights and interests of all the Chinese American business owners. FLACBA strives to connect entrepreneurs, bankers, lawyers and all Chinese professional elites in South Florida and strengthen dialogues with other Chinese business groups; and make FLACBA an important information hub and a forum for business-related discussions.
Last but not the least, FLACBA emphasizes our role as the promoter for philanthropy and communal involvement within the Chinese community. In support of the local Chinese social groups, we will be organizing career building seminars, recruitment fairs for the university graduates, provide employment opportunities for qualifying Chinese students.
As the engine of the world economy, China has already led the world economy for more than 10 years and has achieved remarkable progress. Since the 19th Congress Meeting in Beijing, President Xi Jinping has proposed the strategic concept of “the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road” AKA. "One Belt & One Road". This long-term strategy has attracted the attention of the world. More and more people around the world start to show profound interests in the Chinese culture.
The Association aims to serve as Center of Influence in the local Chinese community and as the connector of China and the United states to share Chinese culture to the world. We strive to integrate resources both locally and internationally by building a high-end platform of established entrepreneurs and professionals alike, to support the Chinese business owners and in turn stimulate local economy in Florida.
In 2018, FLACBA will organize a series of events to promote our value:
1. 24th February 2018: The Chinese New Year Banquet of 2018 (Private Invitations with specific venue and time will be sent out shortly)
2. The Association will host a Themed Forum around the 1st Anniversary of President Xi’s visit to Florida on 6th April, to discuss:
1) How “The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road” will affect the local economy in Florida?
2) How can Chinese business owners in Florida participate in this new special Economic trend?
3) How can Chinese American business owners participate in local government procurement as vendors and merchants.
4) How to leverage the benefits of the Native Indian duty-free zone to deepen the local business involvement.
5) How to introduce Chinese investors and funds to Florida
6) Plans to promote Miami and nearby cities to establish friendly “Sister Cities” relationship with Chinese cities.
7) How to leverage the “Brand China Strategic Institute” and introduce high-end Chinese products to the United States.
8) How to effectively promote direct flights between Miami and China.
We welcome any proactive feedbacks to our missions and look forward to your participation!
