As Latinos and Hispanics become a greater part of the economy of this Nation we are realizing our impact on every aspect of our
society and communities...and with that realization comes the awareness that we have a duty and obligation to help ourselves and
families determine our destinies. The NWIHCC intends to become a strong ally in this effort, together with other organizations that
have existed in our area for some time as well as some new associations.
The NWIHCC intends to help with the business and commercial aspects of our lives. Through this site you can connect with State and
Federal government offices that have resources for online viewing...explanations of programs designed to help your business grow
and even just to get started. There are so many resources that it is easy to become confused.
The NWIHCC is the place to go when the computer monitor can't help anymore. When you want to know how to turn your hobby into a
home-based business, or you need to know where to send your son or daughter to ask how to turn their work skills into a business
entity, you'll know to go to NWIHCC first. When you are ready to become a State certified minority-owned business able to do
business with State or Federal Government Agencies, you will be able to sit down with a fellow NWIHCC member and review the forms.
Please visit some of our Government and Business Links to get acquainted with their offerings.
Also, visit "Gov/Biz & LocaLatino Community Groups Links" to see what 's happening throughout our Region, the State & the Nation.

Entrepreneurially Driven Growth Key to Formation of Business Clusters, Report Finds
Creating the next Silicon Valley, Research Triangle, or other successful entrepreneurial business cluster calls for
economic development policies aimed at fostering entrepreneurially driven growth, a new report from the Ewing Marion
Kauffman Foundation argues.
Although they used to be proponents of so-called "smokestack chasing," in which a variety of tax and business
incentives are offered to encourage targeted business relocations, many economic development officials now focus on
replicating the economic benefits of business clusters designed to promote entrepreneurship. The report,
Entrepreneurship and Urban Success: Toward a Policy Consensus (27 pages, PDF), examines the best approaches
to creating these clusters and sheds light on the connections between entrepreneurial activity and urban economic
success.
