The LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois, formerly the Chicago Area Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, was established in 1995 to establish a small business association that specifically served the needs of the LGBTQ+ business community. With nearly 400 members today — the chamber has re-established a place for a community of like minded inclusive individuals, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and community allies. Our membership benefits include tickets to semi-monthly NetWerq and Members’ NightOUT events, access to our annual premier events, unique member promotions and partnerships, business resources, 1-on-1 coaching and support, and new professional development programming, and more! With the changing needs of the LGBTQ+ business community, we are continuously looking for new ways to serve our members’ needs and advance our mission towards equality.
