Congratulations to County Attorney Abbie Kamin on her investiture yesterday as the new Harris County Attorney. 👏

Chamber Co-Founder, President & CEO Tammi Wallace joined elected officials, community leaders, and supporters to celebrate this important milestone as she steps into her new role serving Harris County.

With her investiture, she made history as the first woman and first mother to serve as Harris County Attorney — a powerful and meaningful moment.

County Attorney Kamin has long been a champion for the Chamber and the LGBTQ+ community, and we are excited to see her continue her leadership in this new capacity.

We are proud of the meaningful collaborations we have shared over the years, including Families with Pride, and grateful for her continued partnership, advocacy, and commitment to advancing equity and inclusion for all residents of Harris County.

Congratulations, County Attorney Kamin! We look forward to many more great collaborations ahead in this new chapter.

What a day. What a celebration. What a Decade of Impact. 🌈

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Pride In Business Celebration as we honored the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce’s 10-Year Anniversary.

The ballroom was full of LGBTQ+ and allied business leaders, community partners, elected officials, sponsors, members, and friends — all coming together to celebrate visibility, connection, and economic power. The energy in the room was extraordinary and a powerful reminder of what we have built together over the past decade.

A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Casa Maestri / Agave Boom, for your generous support and partnership in helping make this milestone celebration possible.

We were proud to recognize this year’s incredible honorees, whose leadership, service, advocacy, and commitment continue to move our community forward. We are also grateful to Mayor John Whitmire for joining us and helping mark this milestone moment for the Chamber.

And we are deeply grateful to Len Cannon for guiding the program with such heart and to Keith Boykin for sharing a powerful and meaningful conversation that inspired the room.

Thank you to Hilton Americas-Houston for hosting us and helping create such a memorable experience for our guests.

To our sponsors, Co-Chairs, Honorees, speakers, exhibitors, elected officials, Host Committee, Board of Directors, members, volunteers, and everyone who showed up in support of this work — thank you.

Ten years in, we are proud of the impact we have made together.

And we are just getting started.

🕯️ Pulse Night of Remembrance 2026
This is a moment for reflection, remembrance, and unity.

We honor the 49 lives taken in the 2016 Pulse nightclub tragedy, and we hold close the survivors, families, and first responders whose lives were forever impacted. We also recognize the enduring reminder this tragedy carries for our community: that LGBTQ+ visibility, safety, and belonging remain deeply connected and deeply important.

The Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce stands with our community in remembrance and solidarity as we continue working toward a future where everyone can live, gather, and celebrate without fear.

We remember. We honor. We continue the work. 🕯️

What a night at Space Cowboys Pride Night! 🌈⚾️

Thank you to our Chamber Impact Partner, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, for creating such a meaningful evening of Pride, visibility, and community at Constellation Field.

We were honored that the Sugar Land Space Cowboys recognized the Chamber’s milestone 10-Year Anniversary during the celebration, and we were proud to recognize the team’s 15-Year Anniversary as well. These moments of partnership matter — and they remind us of the power of showing up for community in visible and intentional ways.

From the on-field Pride activations to the energy in the ballpark, it was a night filled with connection, celebration, and Houston-area Pride.

Thank you to the Space Cowboys team for your continued partnership and support of the LGBTQ+ community. We are proud to call you a Chamber Impact Partner.

Happy Pride and go Space Cowboys! 🌈⚾️
