The New York State Coalition of Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, in conjunction with the chairman of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Ignacio R. Veloz, and the Puerto Rican Day Parade Association are holding the first Puerto Rican Hispanic Business Summit (PRHBS), to take place at Bank of New York Mellon, Friday.

The New York Coalition of Hispanic CofCs is a regional advocate for the economic and civic interests of the Hispanic business community in boroughs such as Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Manhattan, and represents thousands of businesses in the Greater New York Region, from startups to multinational corporations, making it the largest chamber of commerce in New York.

The one-day event comprises New York and Puerto Rico business professionals, who get to network, participate in a roundtable and listen to corporate CEOs, government officials, panel experts and industry leaders from the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico.

The summit should give many small businesses in New York and Puerto Rico an opportunity to meet. Attendees will participate in a series of events before and after the PRHBS.

Public Relations for the Event was handled by The One and only Dee Riveria (Latin PR Queen) of Dee & CO Group.
