One of Colorado's largest privately held mortgage banks is Hispanic-owned, and so are car dealerships, information technology firms and an oil and gas company.
As Colorado's Hispanic population grows in size and clout, so do the diversity and earning power of Hispanic-owned businesses in the state.
Those firms will be on display during the annual convention of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Denver this week.
"It was really the diversity that we have here that came to the forefront" in Denver winning the convention, said Jeff Campos, president and chief executive of the Denver Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The convention expects to draw 4,000 to 5,000 attendees, more than double the number who came in 1996 when Denver last hosted the national gathering for the U.S. Hispanic Chamber. Attendees are expected to generate $6 million in spending during the convention, which runs Wednesday through Saturday at the Colorado Convention Center. READ FULL STORY
