Dear Friends,
A year of exciting activities and HCCL growth has gone by, and we are pleased to present our second edition of the Membership Directory with enhanced editorial and content to serve as a useful method to connect businesses in the community. The Directory has proven to be a powerful tool providing procurement and business opportunities to small businesses, which is at the core of our mission.
The Hispanic community in the State of Louisiana is vibrant and growing and represents a great pool of entrepreneurs, professionals, and an important pipeline for workforce. HCCL recognizes our responsibility to empower Hispanic businesses and build meaningful relationships through impactful programming, networking, training workshops and procurement opportunities which foster economic development. It is a thrilling time to be a member of HCCL. Join us as we champion for diversity and inclusion while remaining proud of our roots and heritage.
We continue to collaborate with organizations and elected officials throughout the state, forming strategic partnerships beneficial to the Hispanic community. We have identified a new focus which will bring awareness to the importance of healthcare, healthy communities, technology, and innovation. Stay tuned for more information to follow about this and other initiatives which continue to provide added value to our membership.
I would like to extend my appreciation to the Board of Directors for their leadership and support as we continue to raise our organization to new levels. My deep gratitude to our generous sponsors whose commitment allows us to deliver our services and programs to assist entrepreneurs and small businesses scale. I encourage our current members to stay engaged, follow us through our different platforms and share our information with friends and colleagues. Membership participation and input is critical to the growth and direction of our organization, and we are always ready to listen.
I am humbled by the opportunity to advocate for you.
In service,
