Our Vision
To become a premier Chamber of Commerce by helping businesses, professionals and individuals reach their full potential while preserving and promoting our culture.

The Puerto Rican/Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was started seven years ago in Broward County. In November 2005 we expanded to Palm Beach to benefit and support Puerto Rican- and Hispanic-owned businesses in South Florida. Under the leadership of Santos O. Arroyo, Frank Nieves, Tenchy Salas, Roberto Roldan, Israel Pabon, Jose Rendon, Alex Allende, Sergio Casaine, Rey Vega, Frances Santana, and others, the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for Palm Beach County Florida was born. The chamber focuses on promoting member businesses through our web page, e-mails, discount referral clubs, missions, monthly business card exchanges, Community Forums and other activities. The chamber also puts a strong emphasis on Hispanic culture and family values.

The chamber is the main sponsor of the Fiestas Patronales and Business Expo in Palm Beach & Broward Counties, an event that has helped the Chamber grow quickly and reach out to new aspects of the business community. The Chamber sponsor and promotes other cultural and civic organization as The PROCER Group which mission is to preserve our Hispanic culture among the young, and Healthy Mothers/Healthy Babies Coalition of the Palm Beaches which emphasis is in the well being of young mothers and their new born.

The Chamber had partner with Fiesta de Pueblo Media Group, which has been an effective tool to reach new business owners for the Chamber as well as the community in general interested in cultural affairs.

Thanks to the hard work and support from our Board of Directors and our members all this has been accomplished to the socioeconomic well-being of the community.
