Message from the President

Hello to our valued chamber and community members.

A warm thank you goes out to everyone who attended our Spanish Market Artists’ Reception on July 26th – what a great night! It was fantastic to see so many people talking, laughing, and having a good time. Thank you, also, to all of the talented Spanish Colonial Artists who participated – we were honored to share your company and hope you had a very successful weekend at Spanish Market. Plans are already in the works for next years’ event!

I’d like to extend a warm invitation to you to join us for our August 23 Business After Hours, hosted by Esperanza Shelter. At the Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Santa Fe community is very important to us. A strong community is made up of strong relationships, which we attempt to nourish with our monthly Business After Hours. Whether it’s bringing local business people and organizational heads together at an interesting venue or providing educational opportunities or the chance to be exposed to the work of one of our members, we will continue to plan unique and high-quality events for our members and guests. Not a member yet? I invite you to join!

Sincerely,
