Hobbs Hispano Chamber of Commerce
Our Mission – To maximize, promote, and encourage the development, growth, and expansion of small and minority-owned businesses throughout Hobbs and Lea County.
Our History
The Hobbs Hispano Chamber of Commerce was founded in December of 2004 by a group of local business community leaders who felt there was a need to form an organization dedicated to the Hispanic community.
