“ The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana is a tremendous asset to Jefferson Parish and to JEDCO. The Hispanic Chamber’s outstanding work to provide business opportunities for the Hispanic community, drive economic growth and increase focus on social equity and inclusion directly aligns with JEDCO’s mission. The collaboration between these two organizations serves to propel our economy forward and ensure that we continue to be a destination for business. We are grateful for the continued partnership.”
Jerry Bologna President & CEO, JEDCO “The Hispanic Chamber is more than a collection of businesses—it is the community I never expected. Events such as the Hispanic Business Conference & Trade Show, the Women’s Symposium, the annual Town Hall and the joint luncheon with the Baton Rouge Chamber provide valuable opportunities for business growth and networking. In addition, the Chamber has taken a leadership role in providing a focus on supplier diversity, financial literacy and gaining skills any small business should have access to. Being a member has allowed me to reconnect to my culture and create a network I know will be meaningful both to me personally and to my business.”

“Our brand VIVA NOLA Magazine has enjoyed recognition during its three years in business by providing relevant content and representing a vibrant, resilient Latino community in print, digital and multimedia formats. During a time of uncertainty, we were fortunate to have the equipment and resources to provide live, critical information to the Spanish-speaking audience. These same resources, paired with years of live broadcasting expertise, were valuable to help the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce pivot in its hybrid and virtual event capacity. We consulted and designed broadcast quality, virtual and hybrid events that allowed the organization to continue holding its signature events by bringing on remote speakers and seamlessly connecting them with the Chamber’s member base and sponsors. Working with the Hispanic Chamber has allowed us to add these services to our portfolio and connect with other organizations that can trust us to provide the expertise, quality, equipment and knowledgeable team for their creative and video production needs. At VIVA NOLA Magazine and VN Media Pro, we are grateful for the connections that we have been able to foster through our membership and partnership with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana. We look forward to serving our corporate community through multi-platform marketing, advertising and creative services. We take pride in being a woman, minority-owned business and in representing our clients with professionalism and integrity.”
