Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - SHCC presents "No Business Left Behind" Program.

In order to help our members succeed, the SHCC has launched No Business Left Behind, a special program to assist Chamber members facing economic challenges.

No Business Left Behind allows members who are struggling financially to remain members even if they cannot pay their entire membership dues. The SHCC will provide a discount based on what the member business can afford.

“The Sacramento Hispanic Chamber exists to serve our members and help them succeed,” said
Steve Gándola, President and CEO of the Chamber. “What many of our members need today is
continued support from the Chamber, even if they are not able to pay their entire membership
dues.”

“We don’t want to lose a single member, not one,” said Ruby Maciel, Membership Manager for
the Chamber. “In this economic downturn, we want to partner with our members more than
ever.”

For more information on No Business Left Behind, please call 916-486-7700.
