Jae Jung, president and CEO of Ford Korea, was also re-elected as governor.

According to the AmCham, the newly elected board members will play a significant role in broadening advocacy and partnerships between AmCham member companies and the Korean government.

“We would like to sincerely thank all of the candidates for expressing their interest in getting involved in the AmCham leadership group,” said Henry An, AmCham treasurer and election committee chair, in a statement. “We also appreciate our voting members for taking the time to exercise their right to vote.”
