Advocacy
Our Culture is Advocacy
At the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (SHCCNJ), we fulfill our mission to promote New Jersey businesses' continued growth and development by advocating for entrepreneurs and business owners in the Garden State and beyond.
We are recognized with the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (GuideStar)—a mark of excellence earned by fewer than 1% of nonprofits nationwide. This distinction reaffirms what our members, our familia, already know: SHCCNJ is one of the most trusted and impactful chambers in the country.
What Advocacy Means to Us
At SHCCNJ, advocacy isn't just something we do—it's who we are. It's woven into every training, every partnership, every connection we make.
We know that small businesses don’t need jargon—they need access, opportunity and people they can count on. That’s why our advocacy starts with understanding. As a chamber built by and for our familia, we listen first, and we lead with action. And we produce results.
Support for us isn’t just a promesa—it’s a practice based on action. And we welcome others who share that mindset to join us, sit at our table, and share a cafecito.
Through our Corporate Advisory Council, we partner with companies and business and community leaders who recognize that investing in our familia isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do.
