Why should I join the Colorado Springs Hispanic Business Council?
Since 1989, we have been an important part of the Colorado Springs small business community. In 2016, the Colorado Springs Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was resurrected as The Colorado Springs Hispanic Business Council (CSHBC) offering the same services as a chamber. The CSHBC is committed to creating greater prosperity in the Pikes Peak region by attracting, promoting, and nurturing Hispanic-owned and small businesses enterprises.
All of our members are offered opportunities in business through education, connections, partnering and mentoring with the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center, BBB of Southern Colorado and other partnership we have established.
Joining the CSHBC is an excellent choose and a wise strategic business decision resulting in an effective partnering opportunity.
