The McAllen Chamber of Commerce, United Way, Wells Fargo, and Calvary Baptist Church are joining forces to promote the creation and growth of micro-enterprises in the McAllen area. The Latina Hope program is designed to facilitate the learning, networking, and acting of Spanish-speaking micro-entrepreneurs that want to learn new skills and bring extra income to their homes.

The program begins with basic workshops on finance, single entry bookkeeping, operational management, marketing, and business plan development. Additionally, each session, attendees will have the opportunity to learn at least two of the following skills: candles, cards, jewelry, knitting / crocheting / quilting, sewing and alterations, soaps, wreaths making and many other handmade skills.

After attending five trainings, participants will have the opportunity to prepare a project plan (basic business plan) and present their business idea to the Latina Hope judging panel. The panel will decide if the project is mature enough to receive the Latina Hope Ignite fund. Recipients of the Latina Hope Ignite fund will get up to $ 250 in materials to encourage the creation of new micro enterprises in the McAllen area.

In this session, the Latina hope program will be hosting Ofelia Brown, managing partner of Brown Business Consulting Group, she has a Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Carlos II of Madrid, amongst many other studies and recognitions, Ofelia has more than 20 years in directive positions in Administration, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and Strategic Development.
