MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce works to enhance its members' ability to conduct their business successfully by providing the following benefits to its membership:

Developing Business Conections: The Hispanic Chamber can put you in touch with individuals and/or companies that could result in new clients and customers.

Business Referrals: The Hispanic Chamber receives numerous requests each year for recommendations on products or services to be purchased in the area. We refer only our members to local residents, newcomers, visitors requesting such products or services.

Membership Directory Listing: Members will be included in the Hispanic Chamber's on-line directory website. This provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to search for your specific products or services. If you have a website, the Chamber can provide individuals with a direct link from your member listing back to your site.

Seminars and Workshops: Through-out the year, the Hispanic Chamber presents information on seminars/workshops on issues relating to small business development, current and upcoming legislative affecting business, and other related information at little or no cost.

Mixers and Ribbon Cuttings: Our monthly mixers or ribbon cutings are a great setting for providing business to business networking opportunities to establish new relationships and business contacts. Each month a member hosts an open house or ribbon cutting at their business location inviting attendees to a first hand view of their products or services. If you host a mixer or ribbon cutting event, your name will be advertised on the Home Page of the Hispanic Chamber website.

Technical Assistance and Business Counseling: Technical assistance and business counseling is available to members, which includes a network of organizations to asssist in Small Business Loan packaging and writing a Business Plan.

Committee Meetings: Members may participate in activities and special events through various committees offered by the Chamber. These committees offer the opportunities to join professional business people in sharing interests and other aspects of the Chamber.

Recognition: Your business name will appear on the Home Page of the Hispanic Chamber's web site as a new member. New members will be introduced at the Monthly Hispanic Chamber mixer and will be presented with their membership plaque.
