At our Annual Business Policy Summit, the CHCC proudly hosted an exclusive and highly anticipated Gubernatorial Forum featuring candidates for California Governor. The Gubernatorial Forum provided candidates with the opportunity to engage directly with California’s small business and community leaders. Hispanic businesses are a vital driver of California’s economy, creating jobs, expanding opportunity, and serving communities across the state. The forum was carefully structured to ensure each participating candidate had equal time to address key policy questions impacting California’s business and economic climate, as well as the well-being of our communities. Attendees included business owners, chamber leaders, and key stakeholders from across the state, with the conversation also livestreamed through CHCC’s social media platforms and its network of 135 affiliated members.
