The U.S.-Kazakhstan Business Association (USKZBA) is an independent, non-profit organization that promotes U.S. economic and commercial cooperation with Kazakhstan. Since 1999, USKZBA has engaged industry leaders and policymakers from the United States and Kazakhstan to foster a positive business and investment climate in Kazakhstan, one which enables companies to be productive and the country to grow and prosper.
Benefits of membership in the USKZBA, are outlined below:
Benefactor Members play a key role in setting the direction and approving the activities of the Association. Board members chart overall policy and provide guidance either directly or through representatives on issues before the Association.
New Sustaining Members first enjoy a courtesy period of being treated as a de facto board member until the next annual board meeting. They then have an opportunity to be elected to fill rotating board member seats, created one for every three companies in that membership class.
A member may be a corporation, partnership or other business organization; a public association, trust, or foundation; or an individual. A key criterion of membership is that any such entity should have its principal office located in the United States, or, in the case of individuals, reside there. However, any such entity or individual that does not meet these criteria, but, in the judgment of the Association’s Board of Directors, has other substantial contacts with the United States, may be admitted as a member.
The USKZBA is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization. Dues are to be paid annually in January for the following year. Dues for new members joining the Association in the fourth quarter of the calendar year also cover the next year. Please inquire about non-profit and individual Associate Memberships.
