Ms. Kayrouz called the American Arab Chamber of Commerce "one of the most important organizations serving the people of the Detroit region."

In addition to honoring Mr. Antakli and Attorney Kayrouz, the 20th Annual Gala will also serve as an opportunity for the AACC to recognize its founding members and current board, who have been instrumental in the organization's growth over the past 20 years.
