“At the beginning the Chamber provided
me with technical assistance and
networking opportunities that helped us
pitch to some of our first corporate
clients. As my company evolves, I look
at the Chamber as a strategic partner
that can help me find human capital,
local suppliers, and as a true advocate
of the Hispanic business community in
the Mid-Atlantic region.”
– Andres Echeverri, ACSI Translations
“To do business in Washington, DC it’s
about connections and relationships.
The Chamber has exponentially
increased our connections and
relationships! Its leadership works
vigorously to support its members and
hold high the value that Hispanic
businesses have in the community. I’m
very proud to be part of this
organization!”
– Alfredo Casta, Cascade

"The Chamber not only is a great
platform to increase our sales, but a
great resource of knowledge and
solutions."
