AMERICAN AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION INC

Established by Sir Keith Murdoch in New York City in 1948, the American Australian Association (AAA) is the leading privately funded nonprofit organization dedicated to deepening and strengthening cooperation and understanding between the institutions and people of the United States and Australia. For over 70 years the AAA has provided an important forum for exchange between political and business leaders while showcasing the depth of our countries’ partnership. Since 2002, the Association’s philanthropic scholarship and grant programs have awarded almost US$13 million to over 900 graduates, veterans and artists – further advancing the careers of the next generation of leaders and developing international networks and generating solutions that address the global issues of our time.

The AAA strives to strengthen the business and innovation relationship between Australia and the United States by promoting dialogue, cooperation, economic growth and cultural understanding. The AAA is dedicated to providing high level policy discussions and business events, virtually and throughout the United States, that nurture the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that resides in our human capital. From infrastructure to outer space, AAA members have the opportunity to engage with each other and industry leaders on a wide range of issues affecting the wider American-Australian relationship.
