AmCham Indonesia held a memorable A Night of Hellos and Goodbyes reception to bid farewell to outgoing managing director A Lin Neumann, and welcome new MD Lydia Ruddy at the Glass House at the Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place on March 21.
Scott Hanna, Chair of the AmCham Board of Governors, and Vice-Chair Douglas Ramage played key roles with their heartfelt introductions helping create an intimate atmosphere despite the large number of attendees. Lin expressed his gratitude to long-time members, friends, and staff for their support during his eight-year tenure as managing director and throughout his eventful career in Indonesia. Scott presented him with an American flag as a farewell gift, marking the end of Lin's term.
A special moment occurred when Lin handed over a cowboy hat to Lydia Ruddy, symbolizing the transition of leadership, amid cheers from participants at the symbolic gesture.
The soiree was graced by the presence of notable individuals such as Dino Patti Djalal, Founder of Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia; Tom Lembong, Director of Consilience Policy Institute; Jeffery P Cohen, Mission Director at USAID Indonesia; and Eric Hsu, Counselor for Commercial Affairs at the US Embassy.
The success of the reception was made possible by the support of valuable sponsors EY, Freeport Indonesia, Sinar Mas, and PwC, as well as beer sponsors Carlsberg and San Miguel. Their contributions enhanced the experience for all attendees, making it a truly memorable occasion.
