Mr. Cappello spoke of the relationships Cappello Corporation has with Australia and that we are &#8220;two countries who have stood together for a long, long time&#8221;. Like all true leaders, these two Honorees have opened our minds to possibilities beyond our own imagination, and the journey they have followed both encourages and inspires us.</span></p>

We are pleased to remind AAA members that they are able to receive Associate Membership of the LA Area Chamber at a greatly reduced rate.</span></p>
