Building Back America Through Hispanic Businesses Luncheon [Video]

The USHCC is proud to represent the interests of more than five million Hispanic-owned businesses who contribute $800 billion annually to the American economy. Today, the U.S. Latino community is 63.5 million strong and together we are responsible for $2.8 trillion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC), one million Latinos/as turned 18 and were eligible to vote in 2020. This growth is expected to remain the same over the next two decades. This plenary will bring in experts to discuss the critical role that policy and legislation play as our community sees vast growth. Furthermore, we will hear from corporations on how our Hispanic consumer power will redefine supply chains, customer service, board room equality, contracting opportunities, and innovative technologies to maximize impact for our community.
