Committee History:

The Dulles Regional Chamber’s Hispanic Business Council was launched in 2005 as a Committee in an effort to broaden the Chamber’s membership by inviting Latino business owners to bring their talents into the chamber and to help their businesses grow. The astounding response to the new Committee was such that it was promoted by the Chamber to Council status in 2006.

Meeting Schedule:
First Thursday of each month from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Guests who are not DRCC members may attend up to two general meetings. Membership in DRCC is required for HBC membership
