From the Chair,
As we continue to move forward this year, I am proud of the strength, resilience, and collaboration our Chamber has demonstrated during a challenging transition period. The character our Chamber continues to show reflects the same determination our members exhibit day in and day out, regardless of which way the economic winds may blow.
Over the past several months, we have focused on expanding member engagement, strengthening partnerships with community and regional leaders, and delivering programs that provide real value to our businesses — from networking and professional development to advocacy and economic development initiatives.
In 2026, our mission remains clear: to support our members, advocate for a thriving business environment, and help our region grow in opportunity and prosperity.
The success of our Chamber is built on the involvement of our members, volunteers, and board leadership. Your participation, ideas, and commitment allow us to remain a strong voice for business and a catalyst for growth in our community.
Looking ahead, we are committed to building on this momentum by enhancing member services, supporting workforce development, and fostering an environment where businesses of all sizes can succeed. Together, we will continue working to ensure our community remains a great place to live, work, and invest.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement with the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I look forward to all we will accomplish together in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Antonio Rico, P.E.
Chairman 2026
