President's Message
Hello Friends,
The Hispanic Chamber recently met with Mayor Lenny Curry and other Hispanic Leaders. This meeting was coordinated by past president Giselle Carson and valued member Marks Gray. During this meeting, Hispanic leaders received an update from the Mayor on his efforts with respect to issues impacting our community. We also had an opportunity to share our thoughts on issues that are important to small businesses and the overall Hispanic community.
The March Professional Networking Event at Ovinte on March 31st was a great time had by all sponsored by BBVA Compass with a fun photo booth sponsored by Chic Booth, appetizers sponsored by Rebecca Black Immigration and continued building of valuable relationships.
If you have not renewed your FCHCC membership or want to join, click here for more information.
Warmest regards,
Maribel Hernandez
