Welcome to Mexican American Business Chamber
Hispanics are today the largest minority group in the United States. Each one of us has made it in this land of freedom with great sacrifices but also with great hope, dreams, and expectations of progress.
Atlanta is one the 'hyper-growth' market for Hispanics in the US. For reference from 1980 to 2000, Atlanta's Hispanic population grew an astonishing 995% to over half a million people today across Georgia owning 13,000 businesses. Everyday Hispanics are becoming more of an influential economic, political and social force across our State.
Despite all these, the opportunities to help educate and train our Community to create and expand their own US Hispanic Ventures represent each day an even greater challenge. That is where organizations like the Mexican American Business Chamber with your support can help fulfill a very important role through consulting, education and training.
Thank you for your commitment to the Hispanic Community and for trusting us to make the dreams of many Hispanics a reality.

However, one of the big challenges for the Census Bureau is to be able to count everybody living in the country and unfortunately, Hispanics are one of the groups hardest to count accurately.
