The National Hispanic Business Group (NHBG) was founded in 1985 by a group of prominent Hispanic entrepreneurs with a vision to create an organization entrusted with developing opportunities for Hispanic Businesses.

Our goal is to seek out and expand our opportunities for its members by fostering dialogue and economic exchange with the Public and Private sectors, while supporting social change and community empowerment.

Today the NHBG is recognized as a valuable business resource and a voice in the advocacy efforts of the Hispanic business community. Our founders’ vision has grown into an influential network of business leaders who have built a network of capable high performing companies and established powerful business partnerships with public and private sector.

Our members represent many industries with proven track records of performing beyond the expectations of their clients. We have a member mentorship spirit and work with one another to support growth and development of their respective businesses.

With regularly scheduled meetings of the membership, events, procurement networking opportunities, and ongoing communications, the NHBG maintains a direct line of communication with all of its stakeholders.

Our organization is funded by an annual membership fee, and we host our Annual Gala, which brings together senior leadership from the private and public sectors.

The event awards individuals who effectively assist us in efforts to achieve our mission and also honors exemplary Hispanic business students with scholarships.

The NHBG holds an Annual Golf Outing which is held every September and is specifically focused to raise fund for our scholarship program.
