West Hawaii Filipino Chamber of Commerce

WEST HAWAII FILIPINO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Established December 9, 2022

The West Hawaii Filipino Chamber of Commerce (WHFCC) exists to promote, advocate, and represent the business interests of the community and to broaden the exchange of ideas and opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Members of the Chamber associate and work with other businesses and entities committed to strengthening the position of the growing number of Filipino businesses on the Big Island. Educational seminars and workshops are offered throughout the year and opportunities are provided to learn what is happening in the County of Hawaii and to meet government officials.

Doing business on the East side? Please join us! In our new beginnings we felt it important to focus our efforts, however our intention from the start has been to evolve the chamber's events and activities to include both East and West Hawaii.
