The El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is continuously looking for ways to assist the community's small, minority, women- and veteran-owned businesses through diverse programs like Business Xpress.
Business Xpress is a premier program of the Hispanic Chamber, which continues to provide key networking and contracting opportunities to businesses in the region.
This year, the Hispanic Chamber has a partnership with the state comptroller's office and the Texas Department of Transportation to participate in the first annual Business Xpress of 2012.
The Business Xpress program opens doors for many companies to network and build relationships with the purchasers and procurement specialists of government and private industries. In addition, it is a creative market venue for businesses to gain exposure.
Nowhere else can you see so many diverse entrepreneurs in such a short time. The Hispanic Chamber's Business Xpress allows a great way for businesses to connect and create opportunities for expanding their business.
Business Xpress is divided in two segments, one of them the Education Forum. During this segment, the partnering entities explain how to do business with their government department.
Business Xpress professionals will be working with the state comptroller's office. The comptroller is the chief steward of the state's finances, acting as tax collector, chief accountant, chief revenue estimator and chief treasurer.
Also working with Business Xpress
professionals will be the Texas Department of Transportation. TxDOT has more than 12,000 employees and is made up of engineers, administrators, designers, architects, sign makers, accountants, purchasers, maintenance, travel counselors and other professions. TxDOT is made up of 21 divisions and six offices.The second segment is Procurement Networking, which provides attendees a more focused explanation of opportunities for their business with a focus on working with state entities. The Procurement Networking segment will also allow interaction by attendees.
The first annual Business Xpress will be Jan. 31 at ReadyOne Industries, 1414 Ability. Registration will start at 7:30 a.m. Business Xpress also has sponsorship opportunities.
