“The American Dream is achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking, and hard work, and nowhere is this demonstrated more than in Texas,” explains U.S. Senator John Cornyn. “When paired with the Hispanic community’s strong desire to start and grow businesses, the job-creating effect cannot be overestimated.”

“With continued rapid growth, especially here in Hays County, we can see the success of TAMACC reflected in numerous Hispanic-owned businesses and local chambers. Since its establishment in 1975, TAMACC has been a vital resource in promoting the development of new and existing businesses,” says U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett. “I am confident that this year’s convention will positively impact the growth of Hispanic businesses and the betterment of our State.”

“I am so proud to represent the City of Buda which houses the TAMACC headquarters,” says Erin Zwiener, State Representative, District 45. “TAMACC is an outstanding organization with a clear vision, an important mission, and strong values. I look forward to continuing to work as a supporting partner with TAMACC to further promote the growth of Hispanic economic opportunities. This is especially important for the rapidly growing areas of Hays and Blanco Counties that I’m honored to represent.”

“Bienvenidos, Tejanos! As the first Hispanic Hays County Judge I am grateful for the opportunity to share our culture in a positive and encouraging light,” shares Ruben Becerra, Hays County Judge. “Together, we can better equip ourselves with the tools and resources needed to adapt and thrive in the rapidly changing economic climate.”

“Over the past four decades TAMACC has positioned itself on the vanguard of issues and actions that adversely affect Hispanic and small owned businesses in Texas,” says Samuel Guzman, TAMACC Chairman of the Board. “Small business is the financial backbone of this country and Hispanic owned business is the economic engine of the Texas economy. Throughout the years, TAMACC has been able to count on the support and sponsorships of enlightened individuals, chambers, organizations, and corporate sponsors.”
