The National Chamber of Commerce of Puerto Rico is committed to the incredible things that happen in Puerto Rico and we are very happy and proud to announce a new and important partner that will be part of the Friends Of Puerto Rico family.
Joel Berrocal, National Director of Operations expressed: At The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce, we believe collaboration is a pillar of successful economic and community development. With that always in mind, we look to collaborate with organizations whose missions align with our own. For that reason, we're thrilled to partner with the amazing team at Friends of Puerto Rico. Through this collaboration, we look to build awareness of the amazing things happening in Western Puerto Rico, the amazing women entrepreneurs of the island, and so much more!"
Together, Friends of Puerto Rico and the National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce will together expand small business resources and programs that will develop Puerto Rico’s economy.
Thanks to one of its fundamental pillars, collaboration as a successful community and economic development, they will provide the future of our people, together with Friends of Puerto Rico, the necessary tools to continue growing and collaborating with these important causes.
We thank the entire team that makes up the Puerto Rico National Chamber of Commerce for trusting us and wanting to invest in social objectives that will help our country move forward. We have many plans that will soon come true!
