New Year Message from the President of the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce

Dear Members and Friends,

As we prepare to welcome 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we are leaving behind. The year 2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary—a year filled with achievements that demonstrate what we can accomplish through unity and collaboration.

Together, we produced 179 podcasts, creating 119 hours of content that reached over 345,000 viewers, strengthening our voice and presence in the community. We successfully hosted 18 events, connecting with more than 14,500 attendees, and supported our mission with the invaluable contributions of 60+ sponsors, 58 new members, and 6 ambassadors. Additionally, we formed over 20 strategic alliances and launched 6 programs aimed at driving economic growth for our members and the wider community.

As I reflect on these accomplishments, my heart is filled with immense gratitude. Each one of you has played a vital role in making these milestones possible. Your commitment, trust, and enthusiasm inspire us to continue building a brighter future together.

As we step into 2025, let us embrace new opportunities and continue fostering the spirit of collaboration that defines our Chamber. Together, we can overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve even greater success.

On behalf of the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce, I wish you and your loved ones a prosperous, joyful, and inspiring New Year. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

With gratitude and best wishes, Rebeca Forero President Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce
