A Premier Advocacy Event for Hispanic Businesses
The USHCC Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C. will explore “The 2025 Business Policy Agenda: Charting the Course” through networking sessions, interactive workshops, roundtable discussions, business matchmaking opportunities, and distinguished keynote speakers. As the USHCC’s flagship advocacy gathering, the Legislative Summit provides an unparalleled opportunity for attendees to connect with business executives, corporate leaders, policymakers, and government officials from across the political spectrum.
During the General Session Luncheon, Cunza will introduce FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, a respected leader in law, policy, and government, whose work has shaped critical policies impacting businesses, consumers, and communities nationwide.
Commissioner Gomez has dedicated her career to public service, advocating for technology access, telecommunications expansion, and economic development. Her commitment to fostering competitive economic opportunities aligns with the USHCC’s mission to strengthen Hispanic entrepreneurship and small businesses through expanded access to capital, resources, and strategic partnerships.
Shaping the Future of Hispanic Business Growth
Throughout the summit, attendees will gain insights into key policy issues affecting Hispanic businesses, including tariffs and trade, immigration policies, workforce dynamics, tax reform, and regulatory relief. A major focus will be strengthening North American trade through the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), ensuring that Hispanic entrepreneurs and small businesses remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.
With Hispanic businesses growing at a rate 2-3 times faster than the national average, NAHCC’s leadership and advocacy at the USHCC Legislative Summit will play a pivotal role in advancing policies that empower entrepreneurs, increase access to resources, and create lasting economic impact.
