As the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GAHCC)moves forward in 2010, we are excited to announce the launch of our new Spanish web site. As GAHCC members move into the new decade, the GAHCC will continue to off er communications that provide important information, ensuring all business needs are met. Central Texas is a diverse region with a large population of Spanish speakers. A 2007 Pew Hispanic Center study found that 80% of Hispanics in Central Texas speak a language other than English at home. In order to ensure that we meet the needs of our Spanish speaking members, we aspire to give them top quality information and tools to remain successful in Central Texas.

The GAHCC also realizes the global community that we all live in. With our new Spanish web site, we are promoting an international presence in foreign countries that want to do business in Central Texas. Please take the opportunity to visit www.gahcc.org and start exploring the new bilingual web site.


El lanzamiento de la página web en español de la Cámara Hispana de Comercio marca un nuevo hito para el 2010. Según sus miembros se adentran a una nueva década, la Cámara continuará ofreciendo un estilo de comunicación que provea información que cumpla con las necesidades de las empresas. Texas Central es una región diversa con una gran población de hispanoparlantes. Un estudio del Pew Hispanic Center en el 2007 encontró que el 80% de los hispano del área no hablan inglés en el hogar. Para asegurar que suplimos las necesidades de nuestros miembros hispanoparlantes, deseamos ofrecerles información y herramientas de alta calidad para que puedan seguir siendo exitosos en Texas Central.

Además, la Cámara reconoce que formamos parte de una comunidad global. Con nuestra nueva página web, nosotros estamos promoviendo una presencia internacional en países extranjeros que desean hacer

Don’t Let the Flu Leave You BlueNo permitas que la gripa le quite el ánimo

By Julia Winston, Health and Wellness Committee

Seldom do employees want to “waste” a personal day for sick time, or feel that they cannot aff ord to miss a day of work. When someone comes to work sick there is a high likelihood that their illness will spread to others, including their coworkers and customers. Flu spreads easily and quickly, and the best way to keep your business running smoothly through fl u season is to encourage people to stay home when they are sick.

Please take advantage of the City’s fl u web site, www.austinfl u.com to learn more about how to limit the spread of fl u, and to be prepared in the event that you need to stay home. This web site has useful and creative information for you and your family about fl u symptoms and facts. Also, for those individuals with small children, there is useful information about how to tell when a child is sick, and when it is not okay to go to school or child care.

Take care of yourself, your family, your employees and their families this fl u season. Get vaccinated and get informed. Stay home until you or your loved ones are well. Rest is best for the fl u and for you!


Pocas veces desea un empleado ¨desperdiciar¨un día libre personal por un día de enfermedad, o quizás piensa que no se puede dar el lujo de perder un día de trabajo. Si alguien va a trabajar estando enfermo, es muy probable que su enfermedad se propague a tanto a los demás empleados como a sus clientes. La infl uenza o gripa es altamente contagiosa por lo que se riega fácil y rápidamente. Se recomienda animar a que las personas enfermas se queden en sus casas y así usted podrá evitar contratiempos en el negocio.

Puede aprovechar la página web www.austinfl u.com para aprender más acerca de como limitar la propagación de la gripa y como prepararse si tiene que permanecer en casa. Este página web tiene información útil y creativa acerca de los síntomas y el manejo adecuado de este tipo de situación. Además, para aquellos con niños pequeños en el hogar, les explica como determinar si el niño está enfermo y cuando no debe ir a la escuela o centro de cuidado infantil.

Cuídese a sí mismo y a su familia al igual que a sus empleados y sus familiares durante esta temporada de gripa. Vacúnese y obtenga la información necesaria. Quédese en casa hasta que usted o sus seres queridos se sientan mejor. El descanso es el mejor remedio para la gripa… y usted.

Emerging Enterprises Graduate: Alberto Cohen, CPAAlberto Cohen, CPA, graduando de Emerging Enterprices

By Monica Willey, HTIA Program Administrator

Alberto Cohen is a CPA with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Accounting and a Masters Degree in Taxation. He has practiced public accounting for more than 18 years while serving clients with integrity, passion and commitment to help them realize their fi nancial goals.

Alberto knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur because he wanted to be in control of his own future, feel the satisfaction of building something of his own and gain fi nancial independence. The thought of creating a company based on his own practices, visions and goals drove him to seek guidance in the form of Emerging Enterprises, where he began the Business Management classes in October 2009.

Alberto said his biggest fear was resigning from his job and giving up the fi nancial security of a steady paycheck. The incubator helped relieve this fear by translating his vision and ideas into tangible fi nancial projections. He plans on using his fi nancial projections as a way to map his necessary steps for future growth. On January 21, 2010 Alberto Cohensuccessfully launched his own CPA practice.

When asked if he would recommend the Emerging Enterprises Business Incubator program, Alberto responded, “Defi nitely! It is a great tool to motivate entrepreneurs to take the challenge and materialize their ideas and goals”.

If you are interested in Alberto’s CPA services, he can be reached via e-mail at [email protected]. If you would like to learn more about Emerging Enterprises, please contact Heberto Ochoa at [email protected].

Su deseo de crear una compañía basada en sus principios, visión y metas lo llevaron a buscar la asesoría que ofrece Emerging Enterprises, donde comenzó sus clases de administración de empresas en octubre del 2009.

El planea usar esas proyecciones para desarrollar los pasos necesarios de su crecimiento futuro. El 21 de enero del 2010, Alberto Cohen lanzó exitosamente su ofi cina de Contaduría Pública Autorizada.
