Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of joining the Chamber?
In a word, Visibility! In another word, Exposure! Joining the Hispanic Chamber can give you instant visibility when your
name is seen in our Informe magazine, web site www.sdchcc.com and business referral directory. Your visibility will
also increase when other business people see you at our monthly networking mixers, which as a member you get
advance notice of through our magazine and mailed invitations. Members also enjoy our strong network of business
owners and access to the $10 billion Hispanic buying power in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
Can I join the Chamber if I'm not Hispanic?
Absolutely. A large amount of our listed members are non-Hispanic. In this day and age as the Hispanic population
and buying power is booming, the general community recognizes that it is crucial to reach out to the Latino
community. The Chamber's non-Hispanic members have a leg up on their competitors because their SDCHCC
membership gives them direct access to this valued market.
Should I join even if I'm not a business owner?
Most certainly. Our membership is comprised of CEO's, executives, white-collar, blue-collar, education leaders, law
enforcement officials, non-profit professionals, anything under the sun. With our flexible and diverse membership
plans, it is entirely up to you regarding how much you want your company involved, and who the monthly information
should go to, even you on behalf of your company!
How do I make the most of my Chamber membership?
Stay involved! By joining one of our many committees, or perhaps running for a seat on the Board of Directors, you
can increase your visibility and get your name out there, not to mention meet an abundance of other members. Also,
attending the mixers will have the same powerful impact. Consider your membership your "passport to success".
How long has the Chamber existed, and who is in charge of the organization?
The SDCHCC was created in 1989 and has grown dramatically over the past three years. A Board of Directors is
elected yearly by the general membership and governs the President & CEO. The Board elects a Board Chairperson
and an Executive Committee.
We look forward to welcoming you to the San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce!
