The GBCOC continues to place the economic development needs of established and new businesses first by advocating for the business community and developing cutting edge programs that support economic growth in our region. The Greater Beaumont Chamber of commerce has two affiliate organizations, the Beaumont Chamber Foundation (BCF) and the Southeast Texas Economic Development Foundation (SETEDF). All three organizations focus on different areas of growth within our community.

Each of the programs within the foundation addresses a need pertaining to personal and professional development.
