This Committee is not just about information. It is strategic guidance. It is access. It is competitive advantage.
Technology is not the future.
It is the competitive advantage your business needs today.
The Technology Committee of the U.S. Hispanic Women’s Chamber of Commerce was created to close the digital gap faced by many Hispanic women entrepreneurs in the United States.
While large corporations have dedicated IT departments, many small businesses have to solve everything on their own. This Committee exists to change that reality.
More than 58% of small businesses in the U.S. already use artificial intelligence—double compared to two years ago. (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 2025)
87% of companies face a shortage of digital skills within their teams. (Robert Half / McKinsey, 2025)
93% have some form of digital strategy, but 70% fail to execute it. Only 1 in 3 achieves their goals. (BCG / McKinsey, 2025)
Women represent only 29% of the workforce in technical roles (WiFiTalents), directly reinforcing our Chamber’s mission.
Digital transformation is no longer optional.
It is strategic.
