assist in and facilitate economic development opportunities for LGBT in
business and minority businesses in the borough of the Bronx & in
NYC & out of NYC.
The mission of the NYC LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Inc. is to foster
economic development opportunities for LGBT businesses in the Bronx
& in NYC. It is our hope to increase the visibility and strengthen
the place of LGBT in business in the global economy, starting with our
borough. We are committed to providing the necessary information and
resources to our community in order to ensure their success and
endurance, while assisting in removing barriers and creating new
opportunities for minority businesses. Historically known for its
predominant LGBT population, the dynamics of the Bronx & in NYC are
undeniably changing as our community is preparing for rapid growth and
development. This phenomenon is especially present in the LGBT business
community as alliances are being forged and barriers removed. We intend
to partner and work with government, corporate and small businesses,
individuals, and organizations in order to assist in bringing about
further development and opportunities that will assist LGBT businesses
in being a viable competitor in the global market.

education, networking, youth entrepreneurship, assistance with minority

Mexican product distribution center, we aim to channel LGBT businesses
into the larger market while advocating on their behalf to their
counterparts in Corporate America
