GREETINGS: A MESSAGE

FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF THE USHCC

Alice Rodriguez Chair/Board of Directors

United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Dear Business Leaders,

It is an honor to welcome you to the 2022 USHCC National Conference! Thank you for being a part of America’s largest Hispanic business organization. Our theme this year is “Igniting America’s Economic Prosperity – Scale. Connect. Act”

Partnership underscores our mission as a pro-business, nonpartisan organization dedicated to strengthening America’s 5 million Hispanic-owned businesses, that together, contribute more than $800 billion to the American economy each year.

We are proud to advocate on behalf of America’s dynamic Hispanic workforce. Over the past 10 years, Latina entrepreneurs, specifically, created businesses six times faster than their non-minority counterparts. Before the pandemic’s effect on the national economy, Latino entrepreneurs started businesses at a rate three times faster than the national average of non-Latino entrepreneurs.

We are guided by our mission to empower our community by providing resources and adding value to our members.

Our vision at the USHCC is to be the leading voice to advance Hispanic business potential to drive our American economy. To this end, we have focused our advocacy on behalf of our Hispanic-owned businesses, Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, and Corporate Partner Members guided by our “Three C’s”:

Ramiro A. Cavazos

President & CEO

United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Expanding equitable access to capital through traditional and innovative partnerships

Building capacity through programming, training, and new grant investments

CONNECTIONS

Establishing connections through matchmaking, procurement, and advocacy

We will strengthen our collective voice as America’s largest Hispanic business organization to advocate for equity and a seat at the decision-making tables in the U.S. Congress, Administration, and America’s largest corporations on behalf of our Latino community. We as a nation must continue to expand access to capital, education, and procurement opportunities to unleash the potential of our $2.8 trillion Latino GDP into the future. We are proud to represent 260 Hispanic Chambers throughout the nation. Together, we will create generational wealth in our Latino community through education and entrepreneurship, and we will power America’s economic recovery.

Alice Rodriguez Chair / Board of Directors

United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Ramiro A. Cavazos President & CEO United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

We can only be successful if our employees, customers and the communities we serve have the opportunity to achieve their own vision of success. Bank of America is helping to build a better tomorrow by using our capital, expertise and innovation to foster a diverse workforce to address societal issues like climate change, gender equality and economic mobility. Shared success means creating responsible, sustainable growth for our company and our world.

GREETINGS

Benito C. Almanza President Bank of America Arizona

Members and supporters of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,

On behalf of Bank of America, welcome to the 2022 USHCC Conference. Bank of America has been honored to partner with the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for more than 15 years. Together, we provide vital support to millions of Hispanic-owned businesses across the U.S., including economic relief programs and bilingual technical assistance delivered at the local level through USHCC’s extensive network of chambers across the country.

Bank of America proudly serves nearly 12 million Hispanic-Latino clients and they are our fastest growing segment. We provide support in many ways including our Better Money Habits® website which is offered in Spanish as Mejores Hábitos Financieros™ and helps people build their financial know-how, and through our Spanish-language Mobile Banking App which today has more than 2.4 million active users.

As we look to grow our business responsibly, it is critical that we reflect the diverse communities we serve and do our part to help address societal challenges. In support of this work, Bank of America is delivering on our commitment to advance equality and economic opportunity for people of color, including Hispanic-Latinos individuals and communities. This commitment accelerates work already underway with a focus on health, jobs, housing and small businesses. A tangible example of this work is Project Progresando, our partnership with 12 Hispanic Serving Institutions and the education firm EAB to increase Hispanic-Latino representation in health careers and increase the number of culturally sensitive, Spanish-speaking health providers.

Thank you for joining us at this year’s conference. We look forward to creando impacto together.

Benito C. Almanza President, Bank of America Arizona

GREETINGS

Carlos A. Becerra Group Manager –Enterprise Transformation

Toyota Motor North America

Dear Friends,

On behalf of Toyota, welcome to the 2022 U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce National Conference in Phoenix. We’re pleased to see this year’s conference making a full return to an in-person event as the economy stabilizes after a challenging two and a half years!

Nevertheless, the economic fallout from the global pandemic remains with us and new hurdles are looming on the horizon. Given this rapidly evolving landscape, the Latino entrepreneurial sector needs to ensure that it remains top-of-mind with policymakers at all levels of government as a key driver of small, medium, and large businesses in the nation. When policymakers prioritize minority entrepreneurs, businesses flourish as engines of productivity, employment and advancement all benefitting our shared communities.

It is also imperative that we share solutions, adhere to best practices, and form networks of common interest among ourselves. There’s no better forum to do this than the USHCC National Conference – especially when done in person. Encompassing 5 million members spread among 200-plus local chambers, the USHCC is the country’s premier organization not only for advocating on behalf of the Hispanic business community, but also for bringing it together. Its power to convene is unparalleled, and we all know that strength indeed lies in numbers.

Toyota has been a proud partner of the USHCC for more than thirty years. We wish to thank the USHCC for all its hard work, and every one of you for choosing to share your entrepreneurial spirit, resilience and wisdom in person. We wish you a productive conference and a pleasant, healthy stay in Phoenix. ¡VAYAMOS JUNTOS!

GREETINGS

Carolina Jannicelli Head of Community Impact

JPMorgan Chase

Dear USHCC Members and Partners,

As the daughter of small business owners, I know first-hand how transformational small business ownership can be. My parents built a successful business in my home country of Nicaragua and lost it due to the political instability in the region during the 80s. But all my parents knew was grit, and they built a business back up in our new home in Costa Rica. Their work ethic and entrepreneurial drive supported a family of six and paved the way for my success. And their story and my story is similar to the story of millions of Hispanics around the country.

Today, I draw inspiration from them and reflect on their legacy in my role as the head of our firm’s Community Impact organization. My team was created to help the firm deliver on our $30 billion commitment to racial equity, and to help our businesses and corporate functions sustain and amplify business practices to help address the main drivers of wealth: home ownership, small business ownership and financial health.

At the root of the wealth divide is income inequality. Procurement contracts are a direct way to create wealth opportunities for Hispanic and Black-owned businesses. That is why our racial equity commitment has been focused on broadening opportunities for diverse suppliers and increasing our spend. At the end of last year, we spent an additional $155 million with more than 140 Hispanic, Latino and Black suppliers. But we know more works needs to be done.

Our commitment also is focused on increased lending and delivering mentorship and support to help small businesses grow. That is why we hired more than 25 diverse small business consultants who are providing free 1:1 coaching to small businesses around the country, even if they don’t bank with us. To drive more capital, we are also working to transform our business and innovate on products and services that meet the needs of all diverse business owners, regardless of income or geography.

Our partnership with ELEVATE Together and USHCC has been a great way to connect with more small businesses around the country and deliver Spanish and English language content and resources, free of charge, to help support owners’ success. Through this collaboration, we have reached thousands of small business owners and expanded the program into six new cities this year.

They say there is strength in numbers. Together, we can find more ways to take meaningful policy and business actions to help more Latino businesses thrive and build for now and future generations. That is why this conference and the work USHCC leads nationwide and locally is so critically important to the economic success of our country.

Carolina Jannicelli Head of Community Impact JPMorgan Chase

GREETINGS

Charlie Scharf CEO Wells Fargo & Company

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2022 U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce National Convention. Wells Fargo is proud to be a longstanding supporter of the USHCC and its work to promote the economic growth and development of the more than 4.7 million Hispanic-owned businesses that, combined, contribute over $800 billion to the American economy every year.

As one of the nation’s leading small business lenders, Wells Fargo is committed to helping business owners succeed financially and create long-term economic growth. We believe that our company’s success is tied to the success of the communities we serve.

That’s one reason Wells Fargo has increased its annual spending with diverse suppliers from $732 million in 2012 to over $1.3 billion in 2021, representing 13% of its total procurement spending. We spent $86.5 million with certified Hispanic-owned businesses in 2021. In the past four years, Wells Fargo has spent $500 million with certified Hispanic-owned businesses.

Last year, Wells Fargo awarded a $1 million grant to the USHCC Educational Fund to support GANAS: Growing America’s Negocios (Businesses) through Access and Scale, a collaborative effort between the USHCC, Latino Business Action Network, and Hispanic Heritage Foundation. The grant was designed to help small businesses by focusing on specific regions and industries that were heavily impacted by the pandemic and have high populations of minority business owners.

We are honored to support the important work being done by the USHCC and we look forward to continuing to work together to support business owners and the communities where they operate.

Sincerely,

Charlie Scharf CEO Wells Fargo & Company

Small business is a big deal

Small businesses are the building blocks of a healthy community. That’s why we’re working hard to give them the solutions they need to thrive and grow – no matter what challenges they face – from protecting their business from fraud to setting up shop online.

Thank you, United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Member Chambers.

ABOUT THE USHCC

The USHCC serves as the national umbrella organization for more than 5 million Hispanic-owned businesses, actively promotes the economic growth, development and interests of more than 260 local chambers and business associations, and partners closely with hundreds of American corporations supporting our Latino business community.

Made up of three constituents –Hispanic Business Enterprises (HBEs), local Chambers and business associations, and Corporate Partner Members (CPMs) – the USHCC’s mission is to foster Hispanic economic development and to build sustainable prosperity for the benefit of American society. It does so through advocacy and professional education, and by creating opportunities in corporate and federal procurement and prioritizing the placement of Hispanics in corporate boardrooms. For over 43 years, the USHCC has advocated in Washington D.C. on behalf of our business community for public policies such as access to capital, federal procurement, affordable energy, the environment, health care reform, international trade, and comprehensive immigration reform.

The USHCC seeks to offer a nonpartisan platform for elected officials and key decision makers to engage in candid dialogue with the Hispanic business community, and to ensure that government policies and regulations promote the economic growth and development of an inclusive American business community.

ADVISORY BOARDS

SENIOR EXECUTIVE CORPORATE ADVISORY BOARD (SECAB)

The Senior Executive Corporate Advisory Board (SECAB) of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is composed of a diverse ensemble of the nation’s most respected, experienced, and effective senior level executives who are active members of the USHCC through our Corporate Partner Membership Program (CPM). This advisory board assists in implementing best practices for promoting diversity and inclusion, both within a company’s structure and its auxiliary supply chains, helps raise awareness on issues impacting American businesses, assists in fundraising activities, and informs members on public policy and other issues affecting business interests in both the Hispanic business community and corporate America.

PROCUREMENT COUNCIL ADVISORY BOARD (PCAB)

The Procurement Council Advisory Board (PCAB) works with the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, local chamber affiliates and Hispanic businesses to educate, provide guidance, and develop strategies that will advance the level of procurement opportunities for Hispanic businesses within corporations, government, prime contractors and suppliers. It ensures that best practices, policies, and programs developed by the Council are reflected within their organizations’ procurement practices. The Procurement Council Advisory Board is composed of members of major corporations from different industry sectors and the USHCC President and CEO. Members are individuals that have decisionmaking authority or can influence the acquisition of major corporations. These corporations are committed to supporting the mission of PCAB and actively engaging in its activities and the constituency of the USHCC.

USHCC PROGRAMS

AVANZAR PROGRAM

Avanzar (‘Advance’ in Spanish) is an eightmonth business accelerator program designed for Hispanic small businesses that are ready to take their businesses to the next level. The USHCC launched this program in 2019 thanks to an investment from Wells Fargo & Company. Each Latina and Latino entrepreneur participates in courses that are aimed to help develop business plans, strategy, and the leadership skills needed to scale their small businesses. Course topics include building financial plans, streamlining operations, lowering expenses, marketing, leveraging social media, human resources, and obtaining access to capital.

GREEN BUILDS BUSINESS

Greening Toyota’s supply chain through the USHCC Green Builds Business Program seeks to offer business coaching to their suppliers on proven green best practices. The goal is to enable business suppliers’ ability to identify, design and implement green projects that achieve triple bottom line results of lower costs, enhanced human benefits and reduced environmental impacts.

BANK OF AMERICA “IN HER FOOTSTEPS”

Launched in 2018 by USHCC and Bank of America, the “In Her Footsteps” Podcast hosts dynamic Latina business owners who are helping drive the American economy and creating change in their communities. It provides listeners with information and resources to better run their businesses, while also working to highlight the contributions of the Hispanic community and Latina businesswomen. This program is proudly sponsored by Bank of America.

CHAMBER LEADERSHIP ALLIANCE

The USHCC is one of four partners of the Chamber Leadership Alliance along with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC), and the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Together, we co-present the Chamber Leadership Development Program, which consists of virtual and in-person trainings to empower and strengthen our chambers of commerce and their employees.

GROW WITH GOOGLE

In partnership with the USHCC, the Grow with Google program offers free training and tools to help HBEs and entrepreneurs to grow their skills, careers, or businesses. Participants can earn Google Career Certificates and learn jobready skills in fast growing fields like IT, project management, data analytics, and UX design. No experience necessary to enroll.

OFFICE DEPOT & ROUND IT UP AMERICA –

“ELEVATE TOGETHER”

ELEVATE TOGETHER™ powered by Round It Up America® is a nonprofit initiative designed to address systemic discrimination and historical racial disparities in business growth and profitability in Hispanic and Black communities. Through a partnership with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the National Urban League, the initiative helps support Hispanic and Black small businesses with five or less employees. The ODP Corporation (parent company to Office Depot and CompuCom) is the initiative’s founding partner. The USHCC and the National Urban League are the only two national profit partners leading this initiative with Office Depot.

WELLS FARGO

The USHCC has partnered with Wells Fargo to provide substantial funding each year directly to chambers across the country for programs that strengthen and foster the growth of small business communities. Multiple grants ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 are awarded to select local chambers. These funds support a variety of programs that empower female entrepreneurs, promote green energy, and advance diversity and inclusion.

COMCAST UNIVERSAL

Universal Telemundo Enterprises in partnership with the USHCC launched the “Nuestros Negocios”(“Our Businesses”) nationwide campaign under the umbrella of Telemundo’s award-winning platform “El Poder En Ti” (“The Power in You”).The multi-platform campaign will tap into Telemundo’s network, local stations, digital and social platforms to spotlight small and medium-sized Hispanic-owned businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and promote their services to help them sustain their businesses through these challenging times.

CORPORATE PARTNER MEMBERSHIP

CPM program provides USHCC Corporate members with access to a vast array of Hispanic Enterprises (HBEs), from emerging small ventures to established businesses with revenues of over one billion dollars. Our ability to connect USHCC Corporate members to such a broad network of HBEs is facilitated by the network we maintain with our over 200 Hispanic Chambers across the country, numerous business matchmaking events throughout the year, and our nationally renowned conferences, including the Annual Legislative Summit and the USHCC National Conference – the largest gathering of Hispanic business owners in America.

UPS UNSTOPPABLE

UPS is committed to keeping Hispanic-Owned small businesses moving forward. COVID-19 has impacted small businesses across the board, and the minority and small business community has been especially hard hit. UPS has partnered with the USHCC to invest in keeping small businesses moving forward. We’re making a donation to provide direct assistance to small businesses in need.

BUSINESS MATCHMAKING

The USHCC’s Business Matchmaking provides a unique forum for Hispanic Business Enterprises (HBEs) to connect with procurement officers from federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies, representing hundreds of millions of dollars in business opportunities. Last year, 4,000 unique appointments resulted from this event. These meetings provide an opportunity for buyers and sellers to discuss specific projects and capabilities. Small businesses or “sellers” must pre-register for the event using individual North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes or business categories. Each meeting lasts approximately 15 minutes. All meetings are scheduled on a firstcome, first-served basis.

GRUBHUB

Local restaurants need delivery and pickup orders now more than ever. The USHCC Educational Fund is proud to join forces with the Grubhub Community Relief Fund. Small donations make big impact. Customers were instructed to donate their change to the Grubhub Community Relief Fund at Checkout. Donations go to charitable organizations supporting local restaurants and drivers impacted by COVID-19.

HISPANIC BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

Two-thirds of American jobs are created by small businesses and Hispanic enterprises are leading this critical growth; starting new ventures at a rate three times the national average. The HBE program provides a national platform to Hispanic-owned companies that have scaled and grown beyond the scope of local Chambers of Commerce. In addition to advocating on behalf of HBEs on Capitol Hill and across the country, the USHCC equips members with resources and knowledge to grow their business by raising awareness on procurement opportunities and introducing them to a broad network of decision-makers in both the public and private sectors.

LYFT

The USHCC received two grants to provide vaccine access codes through Lyft through our Chamber network, targeting specific high-risk COVID cities. Consumers could request up to 4 round trip codes, to allow for rides to and from each of their vaccine dose appointments as well as booster appointments.

SBA COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR PROGRAM

In October of 2021, the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was awarded a $5 million Community Navigator Pilot Program Grant by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The USHCC, the nation’s largest Hispanic business organization, was selected from a pool of more than 5,000 organization applicants, as one of 8 National Tier One awardees for the highly-competitive program, which seeks to outreach and serve small businesses in historically underserved communities, collaborate with local economic development groups, activate community resource partners, and work with states and local municipalities to amplify and create new accessible resources.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH FOUNDATION

The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund (USHCCEF) and the Anheuser-Busch Foundation are excited to announce a new expanded partnership to launch a ‘Supplier Readiness Bootcamp’ that supports minority entrepreneurs in navigating the procurement and contracting process.

The ‘Supplier Readiness Bootcamp’ program aims to increase supplier readiness by training Hispanic and minority suppliers on important tips and best practices to help strengthen their proposals and their opportunities. Data shows that minorities of color receive less than 2% of all contracting dollars from corporate and federal procurement opportunities.
