MCHC invited the community to enjoy live music and Mariachis, food and drinks at Glade’s Mercury Bar, and meet the new board of directors. Over 200 were in attendance, including members of the community, local Chambers of Commerce, business owners and professionals, and past board members, who came to support the newly relaunched MCHC and members of the board.

The Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber, a 501(c)6 organization, was originally formed in 2003 with a purpose to advance the growth, success and prosperity of the Hispanic business community. After a two-year hiatus, the MCHC is back as the chamber nears its 20th anniversary with a newly formed board and a renewed excitement to promote, support, and bring the Hispanic business community together. All members of the board will serve the nonprofit as volunteers.
