EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RAMIRO A. CAVAZOS | USHCC President & CEO

The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) celebrates a year of significant achievements and vibrant economic impact.

This progress arises from our enduring commitment to advocacy, unity, and economic empowerment in the midst of changing political and economic climates.

business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives from across the nation. With outstanding participation from Fortune 500 leaders and cabinetlevel officials, this dynamic gathering sparked new partnerships, delivered educational sessions, and showcased inspiring stories of leadership and achievement. We continue to build a powerful platform for growth, development, and transformation.

In 2025, USHCC hosted three landmark events that energized our members and partners.

The Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C. empowered Hispanic business leaders, chamber executives, and policy makers to unite around the 2025 Policy Platform, fostering bipartisan connections and addressing national priorities such as trade, immigration, tax reform, and economic prosperity. The event featured high-profile sessions, interactive workshops, and a keynote by Federal Reserve Governor Dr. Adriana Kugler, capturing the spirit of collaboration and progress for our community.

Throughout all these initiatives, our advocacy work has prioritized access to capital, procurement opportunities, education, and pro-business policies.

Hispanic business owners have demonstrated adaptability and creativity, rising above uncertainty to create generational wealth, strengthen communities, and fuel the nation’s economic progress.

Our 4th Annual Energy Summit in Santa Fe convened industry stakeholders and celebrated innovation and resilience in the energy sector. A special highlight was our inaugural Women in Energy reception, which amplified women’s leadership and catalyzed fresh dialogue about inclusion and sustainability in this vital industry. This summit inspired new opportunities for collaboration, workforce development, and strategic growth in energy.

Closing the gap between Latino and non-Latino small-business owners presents a significant opportunity for growth and inclusivity in the U.S. economy.

Boosting revenue per employee for existing Latino SMEs, garnering increased investments, and leveraging technology can unlock the potential of Latino-owned small businesses — a significant economic opportunity, equivalent to $1.4 trillion in additional revenue for the economy and representing the potential to create approximately 5-6 million new jobs.9

2025 USHCC CORPORATE LEADERSHIP & PARTNERSHIP ECONOMIC IMPACT POWERED BY OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS

In 2025, the USHCC’s three national convenings delivered meaningful economic value across Washington, D.C., Santa Fe, and Atlanta, generating more than $6.2 million in direct regional economic activity through lodging, dining, transportation, local vendors, and cultural venues.

When applying a nationally recognized economic multiplier for professional conferences, the full economic ripple, including direct, indirect, and induced effects, reached an estimated $10.5 million in total economic activity* across the host regions.

This impact reflects more than visitor spending. It demonstrates how our gatherings strengthen local economies, uplift small vendors and service providers, and expand opportunity for Hispanic and small businesses nationwide.
