BUDA, Texas, Oct. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What does it take for a Hispanic business to succeed in the Lone Star State? The Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) aims to answer that question at the organization’s Hispanic Leadership and Business Summit this Tuesday.
A series of interactive workshop sessions will focus on issues that most impact Hispanic business, including the importance of a healthy workforce. Latino leaders from across the state are invited to join this important conversation — and encouraged to ask questions.
Digital experts and information resources professionals will talk about technology. Government officials and business leaders will talk about state procurement. Lawmakers and lenders will talk about access to capital.
“The purpose is to move the agenda forward on issues that have hindered the Hispanic business community for too long,” said TAMACC Chairman Samuel Guzmán. “We must come together and find long-term solutions and policies that get us past the bottleneck that has slowed our progress.”
“Ya es tiempo.”
Participants at this free, Hispanic-centered, action-driven meeting of the minds include State Senator Jose Menendez and State Reps. Ina Minjarez and Claudia Ordaz. Also confirmed: Texas Workforce Commissioner Julian Alvarez.
