The Mid Atlantic Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (MAHCC) is the largest Hispanic business organization in Maryland and the District of Columbia. It is also one of the most active Chambers of Commerce in the Mid Atlantic region. MAHCC is organized into chapters that serve specific local or county-wide jurisdictions.
