The 85% member Harlingen Area Chamber bof Commerce hispanic members are ruled by the 15% anglo members. Same thing on their board, it's made up of of 85% anglos and 15% hispanics. The hispanics just have to stand up and claim what belongs to them. It will not happen if they don't get more involved. The Harlingen Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a nuch younger organization. They now have nerly 50% membership in numbers compared to the Harlingen Area Chamber of Commerce. Their Board of Directors is more in line with with their membership make up. They will continue to grow and make improvements. At least they are willing to make improvements, unlike the hard core stand by the Harlingen Area Chamber of Commerce. They will not grow and remain stagnant unless they make major changes. Serapes is spelled sarapes tonto. You finally said somewthing right.

Both organizations are a joke. The Hispanic Chamber has no backbone from the director to the board. They are afraid of their own shadows. The other chamber has some token Mexicans on board. The only reason they need these Hispanics is obvious, they want to hide their subtle racism that still exists in the organization. The puppet masters are still in charge and they will continue to be in charge as long as the Hispanics hide in their serapes. Please. Both organizations are a joke.

You have to join in order to have a voice. The boards are elected by the members. And the boards get to choose who the employees are. Nothing discriminatory about that.
