Directors of the Chamber of Commerce also came to the stage to wish the guests New Year greetings. The Arizona Chinese Chamber of Commerce still adheres to the purpose of providing resources, knowledge and services to Chinese small businesses. At the Spring Banquet, the Chamber of Commerce prepared scholarships for the children of two small business owners, namely Janice Chan and Ashley Ong.

I hope that in the new year, business owners will support each other, explore business opportunities, and grow together.
