Last week we heard from Jesse Noriega, Executive Director, The Greater QC Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. During his presentation, he shared that this was day one of being Executive Director. It was his first day on the job, but not his first day with the Chamber. He has served several terms on the Board of Directors, most recently as Chairman, and has played a pivotal role for GQCHCC over the years. As a Quad Cities Native, he brings over two decades of leadership experience, a wealth of community knowledge and engagement, and great appreciation and commitment for the Hispanic Chamber and the Greater Quad Cities community.  History
In 2008, the Hispanic Chamber's founding chairman, Bob Ontiveros (Founder of Group O), shared examples of how he benefited and succeeded in his own business by joining the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Hispanic owned businesses and professionals were invited to play active roles in the creation of the first steps to be taken by the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Mission The mission is to support, promote and enhance the growth and success of businesses and organizations by leveraging assets, contributions and expertise of our unique Hispanic and multicultural identities.
