Message from the Executive Director
|
Greetings from the West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce! I am excited to let you know that I have been your Executive Director for a month now and I am having a blast! In a short month I have met many existing members and new members and look forward to meeting many more! I pledge that I will continue to meet with all of you for the purpose of introducing myself and letting you know we are here to help!
Our goal is to make sure your business is sustainable and continues to grow. As I work with our Board, our Ambassadors, and our Volunteers, I want to create programs and services that will help you grow your business. Only you as a member can tell me what you need from the Chamber to achieve your goals. I will eventually meet with each member, but in the meanwhile please don't hesitate to email me with your ideas or suggestions at jorge.gonzalez@hccwm.org.
Make everyday a great day!
Jorge Gonzalez
