Greater Pasadena
To Our Community,
I am humbled and truly grateful for the opportunity to serve as the president of Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Pasadena. It has been my lifelong goal to help facilitate the professional accomplishments of our Filipino community.
The FACCGP’s goal is to celebrate our Filipino heritage as upstanding contributors to the business world while injecting our new, unique American-multicultural, entrepreneurial spirit into our various fields of profession. In doing so, we share, inform and educate countless others about our wonderful lineage and strengthen the businesses associated with the Chamber.
We are more than ready and very much eager to seek and support businesses of all backgrounds, regardless of cultural origin. It is in fact a great deal that the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Pasadena is made up of entrepreneurs from several generations. And we are working towards one common goal—to develop Our Community.
Though 2020 has brought a significant challenge in all our businesses, however, in some sectors, these also brought unprecedented opportunities not foreseen prior to the pandemic. This scenario is true in the E-commerce industry that saw significant growth during this crisis period.
We are very inspired by the individual accomplishments of our local community as well as the transitioning of our group as a technology driven, highly professional organization geared to accomplish its mission being able to make the necessary adjustments allowing them to continue conducting business under the new virtual norm.
For this new year, foundational leadership will be of significant importance. With our restructured training programs and new operating systems in place, the technological tools and processes we have acquired, we understand that expectations from our members will also be higher than ever. The challenge is for us to continue to remain relevant and useful to our members as we navigate through these difficult times.
As president of this Chamber, I promise to uphold, protect and share our mission. Together with our board, ambassadors and members, we can grow our association and help one another reach and even exceed our dreams!
Salamat!
