The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce

A Place Where People and Business Thrive

Who We Are

Established in 1975 by 14 members of the Hispanic business community, the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce (AHCC)  is an organization focused on improving education and economic development opportunities in Albuquerque and throughout the state of New Mexico.  Currently the AHCC is a community of approximately 1,200 business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals committed to scaling small businesses and empowering individuals through economic growth and wealth creation. The AHCC is the largest  Hispanic chamber in the country, and the largest chamber of commerce in New Mexico.  Our membership is comprised of  approximately 60%  Hispanic-Owned Businesses and 40%   Non-Hispanic-Owned  Businesses.  While being an historically Hispanic-focused association, we are inclusive and  proud to consider ourselves the Small Business Chamber of not only Albuquerque, but of the state of New Mexico.

Our WHY
​We believe in contributing to a greater cause - we believe in adding value to your membership. The way we do that at the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce (AHCC) is by providing a place where successful people can meet and collaborate. What we've found is that most people are one connection away from realizing their dream.

Mission
The AHCC is organized to promote economic development, to enhance economic opportunities and to provide business and workforce education with an emphasis on the Hispanic and small business community in Albuquerque and New Mexico.
