It is with much honor to have been raised in and to be able to represent our beautiful home country of Peru.

          Currently, Peru has a booming tourism industry riding on the back of some of the most beautiful archaeological and anthropologically significant sites in the world. However, on top of our exquisite natural wonders exists a country rich in natural resources, diverse and rare agricultural products, special metals, minerals and much more that are part of a significant amount of international trade around the world and are of the highest contribution to Peru’s national economy. Peru is especially known for its rich coffee, delicate chocolate, and divine gastronomy- especially at our coastlines. The quality of our fruitful and exotic products is of the highest caliber.

          Our privilege of residing one of the most liberated states with one of the largest economies worldwide is a great opportunity to bridge the gap between modern technologies and economic practices and the quality resources our country has to offer. Here it is even further in our reach to be able to make a mark in global trade and to set a standard in efficiency and quality.

          As the new President of the Northern California Peruvian Chamber of Commerce, I am ecstatic to be a part of this economic proliferation. I am honored to present the new Board of Directors and give a special thank you to our former President- Jose Antonio Vera, who shared the same values and goals towards bringing growth to the Peruvian economy.

I encourage anyone who shares these goals and values, and has interest in mind to join us in paving the path to a more successful trade and to commend the phenomenal resources our country has to offer the world!

Cordially,

Elisban Gonzales

President
