The Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has announced its new board of directors’ chairman, Arthur Zayas Miller, who was named chairman after receiving a unanimous vote from the board on Tuesday, December 13. Former chairman Juan Gaytan has stepped down as chairman after serving the board for more than five years. Miller is president and CEO of MZI Group Inc., a telecom company that offers electrical and mechanical construction, energy infrastructure, utility projects, design build and facility services. Miller founded his company in 1999. “I am truly honored to be named chairman of the board of the chamber. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to find ways to build up our Hispanic communities and businesses in this new role,” Miller said. “There is always work to be done, but I feel confident that with the team we have at the IHCC, we will make great strides towards achieving our goal of transformational social change through entrepreneurship.” Jaime di Paulo, IHCC’s president and CEO since January of 2019, said he is looking forward to working with the new chairman. “I want to congratulate Arthur on becoming our chairman. He is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also smart, driven, and has a passion in growing our business ecosystem. I know we are in good hands,” di Paulo said. In addition to Miller being named chairman, the IHCC Board of Directors also approved two new members to the board: Yahaira Felix, vice president of investments, private client advisor with J.P. Morgan Wealth Management; and Jose García, president and CEO of Northwest Community Credit Union.
