The USHCC National Convention provides Latino/Hispanic business owners with an opportunity to learn, grow and share best business practices. It brings procurement experts from Corporate, Federal, State and Local agencies to begin/enhance “strategic business” relationships. In my view, the USHCC is a great catalyst for helping prepare and connect multiple constituents; and in doing so, it positions all us of towards greater success! En hora buena!

”Our Nation’s entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the Hispanic community and I’m glad that Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s can enter into a partnership with a group like the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I’m positive our joint collaboration will encourage and support Hispanic entrepreneurs. Perhaps even more importantly, it will allow people to dream and live what we, as a nation, embrace as el Sueño Americano. ”
