A Legacy of Impact

From a grassroots initiative to a powerhouse of economic development, our journey reflects the resilience and ambition of the Hispanic community in Colorado.

1978

The Vision Takes Root

Founded by a group of visionary leaders, the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce began with a singular mission: to give a voice to the growing Hispanic business community. In a small office in Denver, the seeds of economic advocacy were sown.

"We didn't just build a chamber; we built a movement."
1990

Building Bridges

As Colorado's economy shifted, so did our reach. The 90s marked a decade of strategic partnerships, bridging the gap between Hispanic entrepreneurs and major corporate players. Advocacy became our engine for growth.

"Access to opportunity is the civil rights issue of our time."
2010

A New Era of Influence

With the digital revolution, COHCC embraced data-driven advocacy. We launched new leadership programs and expanded our policy influence, ensuring Hispanic businesses were at the table where decisions were made.

"Data is our most powerful tool for equity."
2024

Unstoppable Momentum

Today, we stand as a pillar of the U.S. economy. With over 120,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in Colorado and $40B+ in state purchasing power, our legacy is one of undeniable impact and future-forward innovation.

"The future of Colorado's economy is Hispanic."
