2007 HC to
DC Marketing Trip
|
Hit the Hill with the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
during its annual marketing trip to Washington, D.C., March
4th - 9th 2007. The Chamber will converge on our nations
Capitol to advocate for the El Paso small, minority and
women-owned business community and market it’s services in
conjunction with the United States Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce Annual Legislative Conference.
We invite you
to join us for a week of high energy and action driven
meetings with key federal agencies as we continue to market
the many services our small business community provide. We
will also meet with Congressional and Senatorial leaders to
discuss issues relating to our community and evaluate their
impact on El Paso small businesses.
The EPHCC
encourages its members to travel with us to our nations
Capitol and connect with key decision makers to bring home
more opportunities to El Paso and obtain direct knowledge of
issues that funnel from Washington.
