Who We Are

The BHCC is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors who are committed to executing the Mission of the BHCC. Our membership includes business owners, executives and professionals in a wide variety of industries. Most of our members are Hispanic by birth, descedency, marriage or spirit, but we do not discriminate in membership and therefore have a culturally, racially and ethnically diverse membership. Welcome any business that wants to do business with us. Our core members are Latino/Latina owned businesses, and we welcome those that would like to do businesses with this core group as members. 

The BHCC's events create a setting where business owners and professionals can come together informally make key contacts, generate business leads and begin new ventures. The BHCC works to promote the skills and business acumen of our members, through industry specific events, workshops and lectures. BHCC members care very deeply about the success of each other's businesses and careers. We also share the belief that we are only truly successful when we help others to become successful in their respective ventures.

We serve Hispanic Owned businesses in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

 

Our goals 

  • Connect Hispanic Owned businesses with business opportunities at the local and state level.
  • Connect Hispanic owned businesses with other large companies or organizations that want to do business with our members.
  • Advocate for policies at the local and state level that will ensure Hispanic businesses will be successful.
  • Make people aware of the importance of hispanic owned businesses in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
  • Provide technical assistance as we can to ensure our members are successful.
  • Partner with key organizations to further these goals.

Our Members

The BHCC is composed primarily of Hispanic-Owned businesses and Hispanic Professionals from in and around Baltimore City. With our nondiscrimination policy, we also welcome non-Hispanic members who want to join the Chamber as a means of doing business with hispanic owned businesses. 

We encourage non-Hispanics to partner with our Hispanic-owned businesses as a way to bridge the language and cultural divides, which helps all of the businesses involved to achieve their goals and fuels the economy of Baltimore City and the State by generating more business resource from companies and financial institutions that want to meet their diversity business goals to find suitable partners.
