71 years of promoting business in Hawaii

The Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii’s 71-year history dates back to a time when a group of Filipino businessmen - civic minded and fueled with the desire to unite the then fledgling Filipino business community - met in 1947. Today, FCCH represents a growing influence of changemakers in Hawaii, and in the Filipino diaspora.
