Sean Devlin: The Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey business expo was an amazing experience that has opened my eyes and broadened my horizons of the business world... When talking to the other business leaders, I learned of the many contributions that my culture has attributed to the business environment. I felt a great respect for my fellow Hispanics in their hard climb to become top executives and owners of businesses... The presentation was in Spanish, which allowed me to utilize my language skills, and also learn new words in Spanish such a sole proprietorship and partnerships.

Diana Perez: We had the opportunity to meet and learn about individuals in our community who were making a difference. They were all incredible people who had a lot of essential information to offer, even information on internships and scholarships. Some of these individuals included, William Q. Sanchez an executive producer for NJN, Daniel H. Jara the president of Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Congress of New Jersey, and New Jersey's Governor Jon S. Corzine. I am looking forward to the next event which is sure to be filled with more information, delicious food, and incredible people.

Melany Narvaez: As soon as we got to the convention we were engaged with the expo, where we got to meet many famous company personal. During the expo we ... asked for internships, work opportunities, and how the personal felt about working for their companies... During networking we met the President of The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. We had an opportunity to speak with him about our experience attending the event as well as him telling us a little more about himself. This event was one to remember and definitely one that I learned a lot from.
