About Latino Business Alliance

In 2009 a group of concerned group of Latino business owners and professionals came together to build trust, first among the selves and then to create a plan to help each other through the Great Recession. The idea grew and word spread through the whole community.

In 2010, the Latino Business Alliance was born. Officially, we are the Willamette Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce but in order to better connect with our community, we chose “La Alianza de Negocios Latinos” as our public name. We received our tax
exempt status from the IRS in September 2010 and were 100% volunteer run until early 2014.

The Latino Business Alliance’s mission is to empower small businesses in financial growth while promoting engagement and visibility within the larger American economy. By building trust in both the Latino Business and Non-Latino community, we are able to bring together like minded people with a common vision a better Willamette Valley for all! The LBA educates Latino businesses regarding interaction within the Latino community and the community at large as well as promoting entrepreneurship and professional development of Latino youth.
