Peter Guzman on the Power of the Latin Chamber: Building Bridges in Business & Community
On today’s episode of The Middle Ground, we welcome back Peter Guzman, President of the Latin Chamber of Commerce of Nevada. Under his leadership, the Chamber has become one of the most influential business organizations in the state, serving more than 1,500 members and hosting its legendary monthly luncheons—long regarded as a must-attend event in Las Vegas.
We dive into the history and impact of the Chamber’s luncheons, explore the Chamber’s role in supporting Latino entrepreneurs, and discuss the importance of policy advocacy, small business growth, and community partnerships. Peter also shares insights on national issues like inflation, immigration, and access to capital, as well as local challenges such as housing affordability, workforce development, and the recent decline in gaming revenues and visitation.
This conversation highlights why the Latin Chamber continues to be a driving force in Nevada’s economy and how leaders like Peter Guzman are shaping the future of business in Las Vegas.
