"Turning Dreams into Goals" - A Listening Session for Latino-Based Businesses

From The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce:

The Dalles, OR. November 27, 2023 - The Dalles Chamber, in collaboration with Columbia Gorge Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and Blossomly Cultura, is thrilled to announce a special listening session titled "Turning Dreams into Goals," specifically aimed at supporting Latino-based businesses, both new and established. This event is scheduled for December 6th, 2023, at 6 PM, taking place at the Gorge Wine Library.

Our goal is to hear directly from the Latino business community about their unique needs and challenges. The insights collected during this session will be instrumental in enabling Columbia Gorge SBDC to tailor a specialized curriculum for Latino entrepreneurs. This curriculum will focus on providing the necessary training, support, and tools for successful business operations in The Dalles.

This initiative has been made possible thanks to the generous support from Travel Oregon through their Capacity Grant awarded to The Dalles. The collaboration between The Dalles Chamber, Columbia Gorge SBDC, and Blossomly Cultura underlines our joint commitment to empowering and uplifting Latino business owners in our community.

What to Expect at the Session:

  • An open platform for the Latino Business Community to voice their thoughts and needs.

  • A $50.00 gift card to Grocery Outlet for each attendee.

  • Goodie bags and raffle prizes adding to the excitement.

  • Complimentary appetizers and a drink ticket are valid for beer or wine.

We extend a warm invitation to all Latino business owners and entrepreneurs to join us in this meaningful dialogue. Your voice matters and will shape the future of business support in our region.

For more information or any queries, please contact The Dalles Chamber at 541-296-2231 or email at events@thedalleschamber.com.

Join us in this journey of turning dreams into tangible goals and shaping a vibrant future for Latino businesses in The Dalles.
