AMCHAM AWARDS - ANNUAL GALA, 29 OCTOBER 2022

This past Saturday evening, 11 AmCham Achievement Awards were presented at the Annual Awards Gala by Ambassadors following the U.S. Ambassador’s Award. The Awards Gala has not been held for almost 3 years due to the pandemic and so it was a long-awaited evening for the 70 Nominations, both corporate and individual, that brought the AmCham community, members and guests, together again at the magnificent St.Regis Hotel in Astana. 

All 70 Nominations served as a record of the AmCham community’s enormous scope of contributions to Kazakhstan and for the country’s future development.  Winners and winning companies, both large and small, were from many different national backgrounds and many different industries.  Each in its own way has made and continues to make its own contribution, to ‘give  back’ to the country in which we all work and live. The Winners in each Award Category were the following:
