The event emphasized the collective strength and influence of Latino leaders across Texas, addressing pressing issues and fostering partnerships to create impactful change. Collaboration at the Forefront The summit achieved key milestones, including significant participation and high-profile speakers. A major highlight was the collaboration among Hispanic business organizations, including the Hispanic Advocates Business Leaders of Austin (HABLA), Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas (HWNT), Economic Growth Business Incubator (EGBI), and the United States Hispanic Contractors Association (USHCA). Leaders from these organizations agreed to collaborate during the upcoming legislative session to ensure unified and effective efforts.

Anton TAMACC President & CEO How the Visa/Mastercard Lawsuit Affects Small Businesses: What Business Owners Need to Know and How to Submit a Claim The Visa/Mastercard lawsuit is a landmark case with far-reaching implications for business owners across the United States. This antitrust lawsuit, which alleges that Visa and Mastercard imposed unfairly high credit card processing fees on businesses, has culminated in a multibillion-dollar settlement. Many business owners may not know they can submit a claim and recover some of these fees. As part of our ongoing efforts to support and inform the business community, TAMACC (Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce) is committed to ensuring that our state’s entrepreneurs understand the implications of this lawsuit and take advantage of the opportunity to recover compensation. While the settlement is open to all eligible businesses, you must act quickly to secure your share before the deadline.
