Relations With Affiliated Chambers
The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce works with 62 local, state and international chambers. In 2011 the NGLCC appointed a full-time position to oversee relations with affiliated chambers. The move is considered mutually beneficial to both local chambers and the national chamber.
The NGLCC stopped national membership options in 2011, and all membership is now routed through affiliated chambers. Membership of an affiliated chamber infers membership of the NGLCC. Certain benefits are afforded for membership, including a waiver of the fee requried for supplier diversity certification. NGLCC corporate partners also offer benefits to members of affiliated chambers.
Relations between affiliated chambers, the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and the LGBT business community are overseen by the Council of Chambers and Business Organizations (CCBO).
