Chris Wingo, Managing Director & Founder, China Sage I encourage Chamber members to take advantage of Consultants these opportunities – become an informed voter! Sincerely, Finally, who can vote? This is an important point because not all Chamber members have voting rights. We have Kenneth Jarrett roughly 2,000+ eligible voters, mainly from our U.S. corporate President members and individual U.S. citizen members. For those who are associate members, please take note that not all associate members have voting rights. Each U.S. corporate member can identify up to two associate members with voting rights. If you are uncertain if you have voting rights, ask your company or call our membership office (6279-7119). Over the past several weeks, we have been in touch with all U.S. corporate members to update the list of associate members with voting rights.

All eligible voters will receive an electronic ballot with a unique code.
