USHCC 29th Annual National Convention & Business Expo
Richard Garza, president of the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, was selected as a recipient of this year's Executive Chamber Development Scholarship sponsored by the Sprint Foundation and GEICO. This program is one of the various efforts by the USHCC Foundation, to facilitate resources, information and training for the local chamber network. By participating in the National Convention, the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and its president had the opportunity to learn about the latest trends in the business association sector. It also served as a forum for the chamber to expand our network nationally and gain the opportunity to interact with potential members, sponsors and strategic partners.
This year's USHCC 29th Annual National Convention & Business Expo took place in Sacramento, Calif., Sept. 24-27.
