SACRAMENTO,
CA - The California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce announced today that
Ernie Gutierrez, the organization’s current Vice Chairman of the Board
of Directors, has been named its new Chairman of the Board, effective
immediately. He succeeds Roy Perez, who has resigned his position for
personal reasons.
“We understand Roy’s decision to
resign after having served the CAHCC with care and commitment for over
seven years and after having had a long career that has spanned four
decades. His tenure included growing the Central Region chambers as
flourishing chapters with active members, providing leadership training
to the four Chamber regions on an annual basis, and establishing
sponsorship relationships with key corporate constituencies,” said
Julian Canete, the organization’s chief executive officer. “He leaves
behind a CAHCC that remains vibrant and wholly committed to its strategy
of helping Latino small businesses in California succeed.”
“Ernie,
our new Chairman of the Board, inherits a strong and talented Board of
Directors and a committed staff that will appreciate his impressive
breadth of experience,” Canete said. “Ernie is a thoughtful leader and
has demonstrated the kind of superior business and non-profit acumen
that makes him uniquely qualified to be the CAHCC’s next Chairman. His
entrepreneurial success story serves as an inspiration to the millions
of Latino entrepreneurs that make up the fastest growing business
demographic.”
“I am honored to assume leadership responsibility
for the CAHCC Board, and I am committed to continue growing the
organization on its already solid foundation,” said Gutierrez. “We will
be focused on supporting our member Chambers with ongoing resources and
training to help Latino small businesses thrive, developing and
fostering corporate sponsors, and building on state and national
legislative agendas with relevant advocacy that best serve our chamber
members.”
Gutierrez is the president and chief executive officer
of a Hispanic 500 business, Allied Industries, Inc. Headquartered in
Los Angeles and founded in 1997, Allied Industries provides
environmental remediation, construction and renewable energy services
