Regional Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
 
The Regional Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (RHCC) was formed  to meet the needs of an emerging Hispanic community in Long Beach , California .  The census illustrated this trend by categorizing 36% of the residents as Hispanic.  We deliberately selected the word "regional," over Long Beach Hispanic Chamber, because we see our service area as bigger than the confines of the City of Long Beach .  This perspective has given us the unique opportunity to include among our members surrounding cities like San Pedro, South Gate , Wilmington , Huntington Park , South Gate Harbor City , and Los Angeles.

 
Since 1970, the Black Business Association (BBA), a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, headquartered in Los Angeles, has contributed to and supported the development, progress and expansion of more than 10,000 African American business enterprises. Nationally, the BBA has access to and influence with more than 75,000 African American owned and women/minority-owned business (WMBEs), through the formation of strategic alliances with trade associations and organizations throughout the US.
