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.
In closing, we would like to welcome you to the EVHCC Business web page. Whether you are a prospective business, a member or you are just curious about us and the potential of the Hispanic market, we’re glad you’re here, and if we can be of assistance, please let us know.
Partnerships and building creative associations with business and community organizations are important to those interested in growing their brand in the Hispanic market place. The East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce understands the value of working together to provide businesses the opportunities to position their products and services among Hispanic consumers.
During the time period I have been involved with the East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, I have seen the positive benefits of the Chamber’s activities. Businesses have learned effective marketing strategies within the East Valley. Services such as individual business counseling, procurement opportunities, and certification have been made available to businesses. Linkage with major corporations, municipalities, and contractors has been developed. Networking opportunities have grown tremendously. I can see that my business and other small businesses in the East Valley have benefited from the leadership of the East Valley Chamber of Commerce.
