The Board of Directors of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has named Fernand Fernandez interim CEO and President.
The former vice president of global marketing for American Airlines was supported unanimously for this interim position.
“I’m humbled by this opportunity and look forward to working with the talented staff, partners and chambers who tirelessly foster Hispanic development,” said Mr. Fernandez.
“The USHCC is moving ahead and intends to be stronger than ever while building trust among our constituents.
As an organization, we will be inclusive, transparent, and have zero tolerance for sexual misconduct or financial impropriety. The USHCC board and staff is committed to strengthening our partnership with local chambers and our members, and help unite the communities that we serve.”
The USHCC Board of Directors has also established a Governance Committee that will work with Fernandez to conduct a search for a new, permanent CEO and President.
“The USHCC appreciates the overwhelming support we have received from our members and sponsors during this transition,” said Don Salazar, chairman of the Board of Directors. “We recognize the importance of moving expeditiously to safeguard the credibility and integrity of our organization.”
The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce serves more than 4.4 million Hispanic businesses and is the voice of the Hispanic business community.
“Our goal is to have a transparent and methodical process to ensure the new CEO and President is representative of the countless Hispanic owned businesses and local chambers that the USHCC represents,” said Fernandez.
