Dear Fellow Americans, Members, and International Partners,
As we prepare to celebrate our 26th Anniversary on Monday October 20, 2025—originally scheduled for today, September 19th, but postponed due to scheduling commitments of our distinguished speakers and honorees—I write to you with both celebration and concern in my heart.
OUR MISSION AND ACHIEVEMENTS
For over a quarter-century, our Chamber has worked tirelessly to globalize the economies of our minority member businesses toward the Latin American region. Through documented evidence and years of dedicated research, we have sought to understand the root causes that drive illegal migration to our nation and why populations in the region consistently elect leaders who perpetuate policies of mass poverty.
We stand ready to present these findings during our anniversary celebration, backed by concrete data that demonstrates our commitment to addressing these complex regional challenges through legitimate economic development and trade partnerships.
A Call to Conscience, Courage, and Commitment
Our nation stands at a defining crossroads—one that demands not silence, not hesitation, but decisive collective action. The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce faces a unique and historic moment that could become a “final trumpet” for the survival, resilience, and economic continuity of America and its private sector.
That is why we have convened a powerful gathering with an urgent purpose:
The Global Emergency Preparedness & Security Summit
October 19–20, 2025 – Washington, D.C.
This is not another conference.
It is a strategic assembly in the shadow of looming threats—threats that could arrive without warning:
· A nuclear strike
· A catastrophic terrorist attack
· A sudden meteor impact
· A tsunami or natural cataclysm
· A mass-destructive cyber or biological event
Over two intense days, we will bring together:
✅ Small & mid-sized businesses fighting for economic protection
✅ Major corporations needing continuity strategies
✅ More than 40 public agencies preparing to shield the population local , national and international
✅ Experts who understand the difference between foresight and regret
Our Chamber is launching a Regional Command Assistance Center, operated through a single emergency number and backed by multilingual call centers located across several nations in the hemisphere. This is not theory—this is architecture for action, resilience, and survival. This number is only available for members and partners in United States.
We are asking for your presence, your sponsorship, your partnership, and your voice.
History will not be kind to those who watched the storm clouds gather and chose to stay home.
And Then—No Rest for the Mission at the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce:
28th Global Forum & Expo for Small and Medium Enterprises
November 3–5, 2025 – Washington, D.C.
Immediately following the Summit, we host an exclusive business platform focused on buyers, contractors, and solution providers.
· Over 200 companies from across the region
· A technology pavilion for digital transformation
· 12 specialized forums on tools, innovation, and growth
· A marketplace built for contracts, not speeches
This is not a season of events—
It is a month of destiny for those who believe in enterprise, security, and preparedness.
Our Appeal to Business Leaders
We are not asking for applause.
We are calling for action, alignment, and serious engagement.
In October and November, Washington, D.C. becomes the stage where visionaries will rise, and the unprepared will be left behind.
Will you sponsor, exhibit, attend, or ally with us?
Stand with us now—before the crisis chooses its hour.
Because when the moment comes, only those who prepared in advance will survive and lead.
MOVING FORWARD
On October 20, as we celebrate our 26th Anniversary, we will not only commemorate our achievements in building bridges of legitimate commerce and understanding, but we will also renew our commitment to advocating for an America that leads the world through strength, principle, and moral clarity.
The American people deserve diplomats who represent their values, not those who seek to transform them.
GOD BLESS OUR NATION
Doug Mayorga
President and CEO
