Learn More About the Chamber
We’re glad you’re interested in growing your business and becoming involved in activities that will bring about a greater awareness of the economic potential of Hispanic businesses and population in the East Valley region of metropolitan Phoenix.
Let me provide you just a bit of information about us. Our research has determined that the potential of the Hispanic business community in the East Valley of Maricopa County is untapped and growing at an extraordinary rate. There are nearly 8,000 Hispanic owned and operated businesses in the East Valley and more than 300,000 Hispanics living in the region. Collectively they represent an estimated $4 billion in consumer purchasing power.
In 2011 our research determined there was a need for establishing an East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. We recognized the positive work others have been doing but we saw a need for someone to help promote Hispanic businesses, culture and traditions and serve as a regional resource for all business endeavors in the East Valley with a particular interest in the Hispanic community.
