“Our team at the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is committed to assisting the Latino business community by providing direct support and collaborating with stakeholders to create jobs, help small businesses access financial resources, and foster economic growth. This includes recognizing the unique perspectives, skills, and talents of Latinas who contribute to the growth and success of businesses and organizations,” said Jaime di Paulo, President and CEO of the IHCC, “This recognition from Verizon motivates us to continue our mission of empowering Hispanic entrepreneurs and driving positive change in our community.”<\/p>\n
