Our Motto
L’Union Fait La Force
Unity Builds Legacy

The Official Seal
A seal rooted in heritage and built for commerce
The Chamber’s official seal draws on the symbols of the Haitian coat of arms and sets them in the gold and navy of an established institution:
- The palm: liberty and resilience, and a nod to our home in Palm Beach County
- The Haitian flags: the heritage and pride our members carry into business
- The globe: the diaspora’s reach and the trade ties between South Florida, Haiti and the Caribbean
- The ribbon: our motto, L’Union Fait La Force
- The gold ring: permanence, excellence and an institution built to last
