with Fernand Fernandez of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation
Posted Aug 06, 2018
The Hispanic population in the U.S. has more than doubled since the 1990s, and so have the number of Hispanic-owned businesses. While there has been significant growth in the number of companies, Hispanic-owned businesses tend to start smaller and stay smaller.

Fernand Fernandez, interim president and CEO of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, joins Sheila Hyland to discuss the importance of equitable access to resources, networking and the USHCC’s upcoming national convention.
