Member Testimonials
Take a look at what our members are saying about us!
"I have been a member of the chamber since 2006 or 2007. They provide lots of value, from training and education to networking and making long-lasting relationships. I participated recently in the Expo and I got the opportunity to meet great people and new clients interested in buying their next house with me. I love the staff of the chamber, they make this organization an awesome space to grow my business." - Miguel Plaza, Owner, Plaza Properties | Chamber Member since 2006
"Since 2014! Met Alma Alfaro-Laska at the business Expo in DC. We had a wonderful conversation about what we both do and how we could collaborate. Because of Alma and her infectious exuberance of the Chambers Mission and Vision, I joined immediately! It was a no-brainer! Alma invited me to the GWHCC office. Since then, I've enjoyed working with the Chamber, teaching Business Growth and Sustainability through its Technical Assistance Program, and enjoying the many events the Chamber has to offer. Partnering and working with the staff continues to be a good thing for the community. So, yes, join the GWHCC. It's what you make of it that counts." - William Eric Linzey, Business Coach, Accredited Small Business Consultant | Former Chamber Member (2014)
"I love the fact that I was invited to co-present in an important topic like mental health for small business owners, so I appreciated the opportunity to help others very much. I am looking forward to continue our work together, after all "it takes a village." - Larry Villegas Perez, VP Solutions | Member since 2020
"As a small, Hispanic and woman-owned consulting business the GWHCC SBTA program has allowed my business to give back to the small, diverse communities that deserve equitable access to resources, education and training opportunities. Thank you to the GWHCC for their unwavering support of minority, women-owned businesses" - Cely R. Argueta, BNG Professional Consulting Services, LLC | Member since 2022
