Founded in 1993 by business owners and professionals, the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce of Santa Clara Valley was formed to promote business and economic growth between the Vietnamese community and the general community. The organization's primary objective is to promote economic growth for Santa Clara business owners and professionals by acting as a referral service for those who have questions or are in need of products. They also act as a clearing house for information and a resource for business owners and professionals to further educate themselves through seminars and workshops.
Services provided by the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce include business loan and marketing assistance, business plan development and minority business enterprise certification, as well as business seminars and workshops, business social mixers and Vietnamese-English translation. Members can gain access to the growing Vietnamese-American consumer market, as well as networking opportunities. They also have the opportunity for referrals to local minority businesses and receive a quarterly newletter, Vietnamese consumer data, information through a weekly radio program and advertising opportunities.
Membership is open to anyone interested, please contact Hanh Tran at the phone number given above.
