About L.A.M.A.

Learn about the Latin American Motorcycle Association

Our History

The Latin American Motorcycle Association (L.A.M.A.) of Newark was founded in 2005 by a group of passionate Latin American business owners who recognized the need for a unified voice to represent their interests in the local economy.

What began as informal meetings among a handful of business owners has grown into one of Newark's most influential business associations, representing over 100 Latin American-owned businesses across various industries.

Throughout our history, we have advocated for policies that support small businesses, provided mentorship to new entrepreneurs, and created opportunities for our members to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
