The LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois, formerly the Greater Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, was established in 1995 to establish a small business association that specifically served the needs of the LGBT+ business community. With nearly 400 members today — the chamber has re-established a place for a community of like minded inclusive individuals, business leaders, and entrepreneurs. Our current members enjoy attending our semi-monthly NetWERQ events, utilizing niche marketing services, and professional development programming to serve the needs of our members and partners.
