Houston Asian Junior Chamber of Commerce (HAJCC) was first formed in 1986 by a group of young Chinese/Taiwanese- American entrepreneurs. In 1991, HAJCC first affiliated with the U.S. Junior Chamber (“U.S. Jaycees”) and the Texas Junior Chamber (“TX Jaycees”). In 2001, HAJCC was readmitted into the Jaycees fold after an extensive and successful effort to recruit a new generation of young Asian professionals. HAJCC’s goal is to help young professionals between the ages of 18 and 41 develop personal and leadership skills and give them the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections.

 HAJCC aspires to develop individual members and prepare them to undertake social responsibility by offering an array of dynamic programs. HAJCC’s philosophy is not only about gathering knowledge and acquiring skills, but also about using learned knowledge and skills to enhance the human character and to make for a more dynamic environment.  HAJCC has consisted of young professionals from various professions such as banking, engineering, attorneys, investment specialist, and many more. HAJCC is a well-recognized organization within the Houston Community delivering year round programs and services that benefit the Asian communities in Houston.
