The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce is the proud voice of the South Florida business community and a civic engine that fuels the advancement of our great city. Founded in 1907 as the Miami Board of Trade, today’s Chamber boasts representing more than 400,000 member company employees and is heralded for its legacy of leadership in economic development, and its unwavering commitment to improving the Miami-Dade community. We understand that Miami’s private sector is the most imaginative and powerful resource the city has to getting things done that positively impact our businesses and our lifestyles. By coming together, we involve some of this community’s best and brightest in addressing current challenges and in implementing programs that position the region for future success through new Miami business and young professional mentorship. To carry out our mission, we focus on six primary areas: Governmental Affairs, Industry Growth, International Business, Leadership Programs, Marketing, Membership & Strategic Revenue Growth, and Urban/Community Growth. With the current environment of COVID-19, the Chamber has restructured to provide our members access to valuable economic support through grants and loans that are available. We are working with Career Source on their Layoff Aversion Program, assisting our members with the application process. We have developed the GMCC Cares program that assists our members with applications for many government grants and loans as well as the GMCC Unites program that brings black owned small business owners in to the Chamber through a mentorship with one of our larger member companies. Supporting the Greater Miami Chamber’s efforts is the South Florida Progress Foundation, a not-for-profit arm that invests in programs and activities designed to improve the quality of life in Miami-Dade. Additionally, members are invited and encouraged to participate in special committees, educational seminars and conferences, member-to-member programs, new business development trips, advertising and sponsorship opportunities, networking receptions, young professional mentorship and special events – totaling more than 150 events each year. The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce succeeds because Miami’s finest business leaders get involved. Join us and let’s work together to grow our companies and improve the community we call home. It’s for good business and it’s good everyone.
