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.

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.
