President's Message

Dear Chamber Members and Supporters:

WOW! What an amazing way to end Hispanic Heritage Month and Celebrate the recipients of this year’s scholarships! Not only did we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and recipients of the Achieving the Dream Scholarship Program but also the great achievement of being recognized as the 2019 Small Chamber of the Year by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce!!!

Thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars for being the Presenting sponsor at our Gala and to all our donors for their continuous support. We are beyond excited for what’s next and hope you continue to join us at our upcoming events! Visit our website and social media to view all the pictures from our Gala.

Join us this week on October 24th at 6:30 pm as we have partnered with Florida Blue to learn about the different health insurance plans available to individuals and business owners. We will have food provided by Mambos Cuban Café and Danzas from Danzas Peru. A great FREE event!
