The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will play an important role in the Hispanic Community Network. As the name-change suggests, the Chamber has increased its focus to include all the communities in Hampton Roads. Although the focus has grown geographically, the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is still focused on promoting business. The Chamber's website can be accessed here, or under the advocates menu from any page in the Community Network. In its role as advocate the Hampton Roads Hispanic Community, its activities and programs will reach out to family, friends and neighbors in the business community. Through the Community Network, we invite everyone to experience all that Hispanic culture has to offer. If you have questions about the commuinty in which you live, the schools your children attend, or resources available to residents of Hampton Roads, check the Hampton Roads Hispanic Community Network first.

HRHCC FOUNDERS AND BOARD MEMBERS. |
The Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce began operations on May 31st, 2003 as the Peninsula Tidewater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. On May 20, 2005 the organization emerged as the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to better serve the Hispanic business community in Hampton Roads.
During the fall of 2002, a coalition of women of Latin/Hispanic heritage envisioned an organization that would connect Latin/Hispanic owned business to the growing business community. Expand Hispanic business opportunities into the non-Hispanic consumer base and educate non-Hispanic business owners, of the great economic impact the fastest growing population will have in the near future. After much research and deliberation, it was decided that a Latin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce would be the best avenue to accomplish these goals.
