About NGLCC
Council of Chambers and Business Organizations
The Council of Chambers and Business Organizations (CCBO) is comprised of state and local LGBT chambers of commerce and business organizations. The CCBO gives these organizations a voice at the leadership table and a venue for its members to share information, discuss issues such as membership development and retention, offer mutual advice for attaining success and warding off failures, and communicates the needs of local groups to the NGLCC leadership. The network of chambers and business organizations that make up the CCBO work together to disseminate best practices and collaborate effectively on the collective work in advancing the interests of LGBT businesses and entrepreneurs.
The CCBO:

a mechanism for the exchange of thoughts,
knowledge and ideas to
promote and encourage open dialogue,
coordination and cooperation
between local LGBT chambers of commerce,
business organizations and the

and advancements of the
