This year, the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrates 25 years of building economic bridges and empowering the Latino community. We are filled with immense gratitude as we mark this milestone anniversary and look ahead to expanding our programs, partnerships, and impact across the Commonwealth.
In 2025, the Virginia Hispanic Chamber was honored as the National Large Chamber of the Year by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at its National Convention in September, a prestigious recognition that highlights our statewide leadership, innovation, and lasting contributions to economic growth.
The 25th Anniversary Luncheon, hosted at the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond on December 12th, will be a momentous occasion honoring our journey, achievements, and the vibrant future ahead.
