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).

Famous quotes containing the words relations with, relations and/or chambers:
“The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic and food for our mind, as well as our body. The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education, and bring us to just relations with men and things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our relations to each other are oblique and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“O sleep, O gentle sleep,
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs,
Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee,
And hushed with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber,
Than in the perfumed chambers of the great,
Under the canopies of costly state,
And lulled with sound of sweetest melody?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
