The El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will take on Capitol Hill this week during the annual legislative trip, HC to DC during a defining moment for the Nation’s business community.
“There is no more important time to be at the nation’s capital than now. It is of high importance that we establish strategic alliances with administration, legislative leaders and those individuals that will be essential in representing our small minority and women owned businesses, now more than ever,” said Cindy Ramos-Davidson, CEO of your El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The 2010 HC to DC delegates consist of over ten local business owners and entrepreneurial representatives who will be meeting with a variety of key leaders to discuss issues pertaining to procurement, healthcare, business taxes, access to capital and commerce among other issues.
The 2010 EPHCC Delegates are:
• Cindy Ramos-Davidson, CEO of the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
• Janet Aguilar, Chair of the EPHCC Board and Vice President for Wells Fargo Ins. Services U.S.A. Inc Yoli Diaz, President of Mirador Enterprises

“Our participation during this essential time strengthen our voice and representation on the nation’s future and will make sure our issues are near the top of the national business agenda,” added Ramos-Davidson.
Currently, the newly elected officials and the 111th congress have an enormous obligation to stimulate and repair the nation’s economy. Congressional leadership is already reacting to the policies of the new administration which will have a direct impact on the future of our businesses.
If we expect to be included and represented effectively, the El Paso business community must deepen relationships in Congress and maintain a high profile with key decision makers.
