Letter from the Chairman Dear Members and Friends,

s A. Medina, Esq Carlo .

Chairman shccnj

On behalf of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, I would like to thank you for your continued support, membership, and commitment to the Chamber’s mission. The year 2018 has been another successful year for the Chamber. Since its beginnings, the Chamber has been a driving force behind ensuring that our community is prosperous and vibrant.

This year we continued to create new business opportunities for our members and the Latino community as a whole. The Entrepreneurship Training Program, many special events, meetings, networking get-togethers, educational workshops, and expos offered our members many avenues to get involved.

In addition to our signature conferences, networking opportunities, and entrepreneurship program, this year we hosted new events such as the AECOM Procurement event, the Latina panel, and the NJEDA Opportunities discussion. As the voice of the 119,000 Hispanic businesses and all those who serve them, we are committed to communicating important issues and positions, creating new partnerships, and building new opportunities for the community.

We look forward to continuing the collaboration with all our members, hearing their concerns and focusing on the empowerment, growth, and enrichment of the Latino business community in the State of New Jersey.

Thank you to all of the Chamber members, Board of Directors, volunteers, social media ambassadors, and most importantly, the entire Chamber staff that has been working diligently to make sure that our Chamber is all that it can be.

Finally, I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year 2019!

Helping Hispanic Entrepreneurs Launch Businesses and Drive Growth Hispanic entrepreneurs are a driving force for the U.S. economy:

Hispanics open new businesses at a rate 2.5 faster than the rest of the population.

In New Jersey only, more than 100 new Hispanic-owned businesses are created each week, quickly adding up to the existing 119,000 businesses that contribute $20 billion to the state economy.

Increasing barriers exist, compared to non-Latinos: Such hurdles include language and cultural differences, barriers to accessing capital and credit, lack of a supportive network of experienced professionals, and limited opportunities to scale up into new markets.

For the last 4 years, the HETP program has been providing bilingual classroom instruction and individual coaching to Hispanic entrepreneurs, at no cost. Our program covers all relevant pillars of business creation and expansion, including business plans, marketing strategy, legal, insurance and accounting topics, pricing, negotiation, public speaking, and many others.
