Greater Dallas Chamber

Mission:

The Dallas Regional Chamber promotes prosperity through public policy, economic development and member engagement.

The Greater Dallas Chamber will unite and engage the Dallas region's business community and provide dynamic business and civic leadership to develop and sustain a prosperous economy and a vibrant community.

History:

The Greater Dallas Chamber is a dynamic alliance serving the business interests of the region. The root of our rich history dates back to the Board of Trade, established in 1874. The initial formation of the Chamber as it now exists occurred in 1909, when three other groups the Commercial Club, the 150,000 Club and the Freight Bureau merged with the Board of Trade to form the original Dallas Chamber of Commerce. Since then, the Chamber has evolved into one of the largest voluntary membership driven organizations of businesses in the United States.

It is the largest business leadership organization in the region. The Chamber effectively focuses upon economic prosperity and quality of life issues important to the entire area. We are the leading business development and economic development organization for the region. The role of the chamber has become increasingly important as we try to improve the local economy. The Chamber consists of 3,000 businesses located in 88 different cities in the region.
