From AZHCC Chairman of the Board Izzy Gonzalez

Bienvenido to the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (AZHCC)!

The AZHCC Chamber has been offering guidance, advocacy and support on behalf of Latino small businesses since 1948. Our primary goal is to ensure that Latino-owned businesses in our community grow and thrive in Arizona.

As the new chairman of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, I am committed to achieving that goal and leading our organization’s dedicated board of directors (all of whom volunteer their time and energy), as we work to provide our members and our community with the service you need.

The future of our organization is bright. As the economy starts to rebound, our membership is growing. Our involvement in the community is expanding. President and CEO Armando Contreras, who joined the AZHCC in June 2009, has brought a new level of energy and dedication that has combined with the board’s leadership and expertise to reinvigorate the AZHCC and reinstill a sense of pride and purpose in the work we do.

This is an organization on the rise. I encourage you to join us as we move ahead. The AZHCC has had many great successes over the years, but I believe the best is yet to come for our organization.

The Chamber is ready and eager to serve as your gateway to procurement, professional networking, training and promotional opportunities, even as we continue to advocate on your behalf.

The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is committed to serving our members, and I am committed to guaranteeing that we achieve that goal.

Sinceramente,

Robert Espiritu
2009 Chairman of the Board, Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
