HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH AND #CensusBusinessChampion SPOTLIGHT ⭐️
Kevin Guillen, Executive Board Member and Chair of Economic Development and Government Relations, Antelope Valley Hispanic Chamber
Kevin shares what the @avhcc has done to ensure a complete census count and how Latinx businesses contribute to their community:
“For the past two years, we have been working diligently on the 2020 Census and making sure that our small businesses count. When we think of Latino businesses, when we think of minority-owned businesses, that we all work together, we realize that we have such a large impact on our communities. Not just economic, but also on quality of life and culture.”
