Our Trailblazing & Firebrands Leaders Delegation

2023 Delegation to dc to advocate for ALL 9M PR's interests


    ABOUT THE 2023 USHCC LEGISLATIVE SUMMIT

    AT PRUSACC We Support this Mission

    Puerto Rico is ALWAYS part of the agenda & included in its Policy Platform! 

    (Please refer to the full document link below & related excerpt.)


    As America rebuilds, Hispanic Business is a key driver of our economy's revitalization. The USHCC 2023 Legislative Summit welcomes the vast exploration of these countless innovative opportunities through public policy, procurement, advocacy, and access to necessary technical assistance to build back better. On behalf of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and our Board of Directors we invite you to join us as we connect America’s Hispanic Business leaders with elected officials from both sides of the aisle in a bipartisan effort to influence legislative change. This Summit creates a platform for ideas that help our economy grow, our businesses scale, and our country move forward to reestablish our economic vibrancy. 


    Join us on Monday, March 20th to Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023 for this important Hispanic business event. At the USHCC, our mission is to promote the growth, development, and interests of more than five million Hispanic-owned businesses that contribute over $800 billion to the American economy every year. This is a topic that transcends political parties. When our businesses succeed, jobs are created, the economy grows stronger, we have better goods and services, and we are more competitive globally. We look now to a new political era in Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration who are tasked with drafting policies that grow our small minority-owned businesses and support our collective Hispanic community, 63.5 million citizens strong in America. The USHCC along with our corporate partners, chambers of commerce, and respective constituencies is ready to collaborate and advocate for strategic policies that grow Hispanic business, place Hispanics in positions of power in both government and corporations, and provide necessary access to capital and technical assistance to revitalize the American economy. 


    The crafting and passage of these policies will require unity, participation, and strategic bipartisan collaboration. Whether you are a private small-business owner, corporate executive, or chamber member, we sincerely hope you will join this dynamic conversation to have your voices of influence heard at our USHCC 2023 Legislative Summit.
