As a first generation Hispana, Ramos Davidson was instilled  love for the culture of her ancestors and values of the American dream.  Growing up, Ramos-Davidson learned that with perseverance and passion, anything is possible.  During her lifetime, Ramos-Davidson has broken many barriers.  In 1977, she was the first female in her family to obtain a university degree from the University of Texas. During her career, Ramos-Davidson has been an inspiration to many young Hispanas by opening doors and creating new opportunities.  With her over 30 years of chamber experience and professional life, Ramos-Davison is a living testimony that with a clear vision and passion, even glass ceilings can be broken.

During her ten year tenure and under the leadership and vision of Ramos-Davison, the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has increased its membership to 1,067, the organization obtained its own location on I-10 and it continues to develop new services and resources so that local businesses can continue to grow, provide more jobs to our community and in it of itself create an impulse for the betterment of El Paso.  Currently, the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has trained and counseled over 20,000 entrepreneurs, assisted local businesses obtain $9,790,660 in financial projects, help the start up of over 900 businesses, aided in the expansion of 909 businesses, help establish 525 home base businesses, assisted in the creation and retention of 5,675 jobs and contributed to an estimated economic impact to the community of $255,941,830.

This is all done from the perspective that there is a moral obligation we each have to help each other.  As a female minority, small business expert & avid advocate of small minority and women owned businesses, Ramos-Davidson has focused her efforts on assuring access to capital, technological sophistication, diversification of people, products, & services for long term business sustainability and survival.

While so much has been accomplished in her tenure as CEO of the Hispanic Chamber, Ramos-Davidsons’ background includes a career in chamber work that reaches back to 1980.  Her creativity and ability to “think outside the box” has been demonstrated time and time again. 

There are no brick walls with Cindy around.  She finds ways to bring resources to businesses that might not otherwise have a level playing field.
