President's Message 

Hola FCHCC Members and Supporters:

As we welcome Spring, we also welcome a new season of growth for the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. March was a very busy month and April also has some great events and opportunities lined up for you. 

In March, we co-sponsored the Multicultural Mayoral Candidates Forum where we joined forces with leaders representing the African American and Asian communities to address topics that are unique and specific to our communities including questions regarding increased opportunities for Hispanic businesses. We also hosted a business luncheon at the Omni and professional networking event at The Blind Rabbit.

April will also be a busy month as we are adding a Beaches Mixer to our schedule of events on April 8th along with a Business Luncheon on April 21st, an Educational Workshop on how to start a business on April 28th and the Professional Networking Event will take place on April 30th.

I am also very excited to announce that the application period for the Achieving the Dream Scholarship is open now so be sure to get the word out and invite others to get first notice. I look forward to seeing you at our events and remember...It's a great time to be an FCHCC member!

 

Warmest regards,

Maribel Hernandez

Maribel Hernandez, MBA, ACB, CL
