Hawaii's Hispanic business community had articulated a need for a viable, serious, professionally-run Hispanic business organization that was about business and of mainstream "downtown" quality.

Four Hawaii Hispanic businessmen and women heeded the call -- two Puerto Ricans,  a Mexican and a Cuban (hey, if you're doing business... you always gotta have a Cuban).

The good friends, and proud Latino(a)s, decided to create a business  organization focused on sharing knowledge, resources and contacts to help our members succeed.  That was the genesis of the Latin Business Hawaii (LBH).

You don't have to speak Spanish or be a Hispanic to join LBH, but you must be willing to help your fellow members -- and their businesses -- succeed.

Latin Business Hawaii is a proud member of:

-  The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii

-  The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

 

The old Spanish proverb is the basis for our organization: 

“Hoy por ti, mañana por mi” (“Today for you, tomorrow for me”).

We help each other succeed and the "rising tide lifts all the boats."  (including our own!)
