The Maryland Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is proud to launch our new Women Entrepreneur Committee. The committee will help Latina and other women entrepreneurs to achieve success in their role as business owners, professionals, or government and private employees.
The Maryland Hispanic Chamber’s Women Entrepreneur Committee will provide member with:
- Opportunities for women to promote their businesses
- Web presence through our online Members Directory
- Access to peers
- Access to mentors
- Links to useful government and business services
- Resource list of books
- Networking opportunities
- Highlights and articles of important issues for women business owners
Follow this link to access an important article from the Center for Women’s Business Research, which presents a detailed description of businesses owned by Hispanic and Latina Women in the United States in 2006.
As you can see from the article, the power of our fellow Latina women in the business community is impressive.
