FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

For more than 100 years, the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce has been lifting up the business community in big and bold ways. And we are stronger now than we have ever been and more committed to doing what’s right for our growing business community. This means advocating for small businesses in areas where we can bridge the gap and solve real problems through meaningful events that bring people together for a single cause.

Since 2003, the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce has hosted the annual Business Expo and Career Resource Fair which connects more than 100 businesses with hundreds of potential applicants and provides career opportunities through panels featuring top industry leaders and experts in our community.

On Thursday, April 20, this event will convene at the Santa Fe Convention Center from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. As northern New Mexico’s largest business expo, admission is free to the public and this year we are pleased to provide attendees with free childcare, as we know not having access to childcare is the number one deterrent for parents seeking employment opportunities.

This event provides businesses, entrepreneurs, and employees with the opportunity to build a stronger network, explore possible employment opportunities and/or a career change, fill vital positions, and support our vibrant and diverse business community.

Local businesses need employees and residents need jobs with purpose and living wages. The Business Expo and Career Resource Fair brings these two realities together to fill job openings and educate the workforce on new career possibilities. If you are interested in becoming an exhibitor or sponsor, please contact kristi@ santafechamber.com at the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.

Thank you, Santa Fe, for your continued support of local businesses. It is because we shop and do business locally that keeps dollars circulating in our economy. We welcome you to join this year’s event and explore the possibilities.
