President’s Message

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As we approach the final weeks of 2024 and look forward to 2025, the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce is poised to build on the momentum we’ve gained in fostering economic growth, promoting international cooperation, and empowering minority-owned businesses. This is an exciting time of transformation and opportunity for our members, partners, and stakeholders, as we expand our efforts to create meaningful connections and lasting impact both in the United States and abroad.

Throughout our journey, we have focused on advocating for policies that strengthen economic ties, particularly with Latin America, while extending our vision globally. Our commitment to promoting inclusive growth and creating pathways for minority-owned businesses to thrive has never been stronger.

We recognize the untapped potential of global partnerships, and we are dedicated to bridging opportunities across regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Latin America, and the United States. Our expanding network of international offices reflects our mission to foster cross-border collaborations and create economic opportunities that benefit all.

In 2025, we will continue to push for vital initiatives, such as expanding labor visa programs and facilitating legal pathways for skilled foreign workers to contribute to our economy. We will also work tirelessly to enhance business ecosystems through our strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and advocacy for minority businesses.

As we move forward, I am confident that together, we can drive lasting change and build a future of prosperity that transcends borders. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to what we will achieve in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Douglas Mayorga
Chairman
U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce
