What is the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce?

The Moreno Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce membership consists of Hispanic and non-Hispanic businesses and professional individuals who all share a mutual desire to ensure a healthy economic and socio-economic base to benefit the City of Moreno Valley.

The Moreno Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary 501c(6) non-profit organization, which has been in existence since 1993. With Latinos in excess of 60 percent of the population in Moreno Valley, it is obvious that the Hispanic community has a strong influence in our area.  Consequently, the Hispanic Chamber has far-reaching implications by having access to the buying power, labor market, and economic development of the Hispanic population in our community.

Additionally, the Hispanic Chamber supports a local education system that inspires the highest levels of student achievement and learning opportunities; and promotes a health care system that cares for the critical needs of our citizens.

The Hispanic Chamber is governed by its Board of Directors, which determines the policies and programs of the Hispanic Chamber.  Members are encouraged to continually increase their personal involvement and grow their leadership skills by joining the Board of Directors.

The opportunities available to you as a Hispanic Chamber member are profitable and rewarding.
