Initiatives

GDKACC has several important initiatives for our members. We have promoted various events such as monthly leadership seminars, appreciation luncheons, and business-oriented workshops with specialized outstanding outside speakers in order for member companies to cope effectively with the continuously changing business environments in Greater Dallas. Our member companies have experienced the difficulties and challenges of doing business in the United States. In order to resolve these problems, GDKACC assists members with communications, city support, safety measures, and education on the Western philosophy of business acumen and networking, with a concentration on vendor relations. GDKACC is instrumental to the Korean American business community in helping to bridge this gap.
