Editorial: A challenge for Dallas Hispanic chamber

The Dallas Morning News

The Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is one of those great legacy organizations known more for its pioneering history than for modern-day accomplishments. When it marks its diamond jubilee in just three years, its iconic status will be burnished even more.

Unfortunately, the status as the region’s longest-reigning Latino business group is not enough to guarantee success. Even defenders of the chamber acknowledge privately that the business group has at times strayed from its mission and not done nearly enough to retain and boost its membership. The proliferation of other Hispanic chambers is often, and accurately, cited as evidence of dysfunction.

When David L. Gonzales abruptly resigned last week as chief executive, questions about the chamber’s current and future stability were inevitable.

As a 48 year old Hispanic (of Mexican descent) woman whose white husband often tells her is “prejudiced against her own people”, this book was right up my alley. I’m not prejudiced, but I do wish “my people” would try harder in some respects. I absolutely believe that education needs to be made a much higher priority in Hispanic culture AND that getting pregnant  as a teen needs to quit being treated as if it’s to be expected, not that big a deal or a rite of life.
