The in-person training was held July 25, 2022 at the University of Houston-Clear Lake at Pearland.
“When we had the opportunity to work with the Brazoria County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to help inform and certify businesses for HUB qualifications, we jumped at the opportunity. We are excited to present these certifications to businesses in all the communities we serve and look forward to partnering with other community driven organizations to help these businesses utilize the resources afforded to them.” – Jim Johnson
