Members and Supporters,
February is always a meaningful month for the Chamber — and this year, it carries even greater significance.
Ten years ago, in February 2016, the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce launched with conviction and purpose. What began as a bold idea — ensuring our community had a seat and a voice at the tables where economic decisions are made — has grown into a powerful, nationally recognized force for LGBTQ+ economic inclusion.
This month, we celebrated that milestone with an unforgettable 10-Year Anniversary Reception. It was more than an event — it was a reflection of who we are: resilient, connected, and forward-looking. Stronger. Bolder. Unstoppable. Together.
As we continue this milestone year, we are also proud to spotlight the leaders guiding us into the next decade. In this issue, you’ll meet Board Member Rachel Bickham and read Amber Godbold’s personal reflection on growing alongside the Chamber over the past ten years. Their stories remind us that this work is not just business or community — it is deeply personal.
As we celebrate the Chamber's Founding Month, we will continue celebrating this milestone year in the months ahead.
In community,

Founding Month
February is the Chamber's Founding Month. On February 26, 2016 the Chamber launched with a bold vision: to ensure our community had a seat and a voice at the tables where economic decisions are made — and to build an economy where everyone belongs.

📰 Over It. Around It. Through It.
A Decade of Impact.
Stronger. Bolder. Unstoppable. Together.
This month, our President & CEO, Tammi Wallace, is featured on the cover of the Houston Business Journal in a powerful 10-year anniversary profile titled: “Over It, Around It or Through It.”
The cover story highlights the extraordinary journey of the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce — and the resilience that has defined our first decade.
From its founding a decade ago to becoming a nationally recognized economic force, the Chamber has advanced opportunity, visibility, and equity for LGBTQ+ and allied businesses and the community across the region.
The article reflects on:
- Why the region needed an LGBTQ+ chamber — and how quickly it became a powerhouse
- The Chamber’s role in bridging economic parity gaps and elevating LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs and professionals
- Navigating legislative headwinds while staying focused on economic impact
- Building corporate and civic partnerships that move the region forward
- The responsibility of leadership in moments of challenge
As Tammi shared in the interview:
“When we look at these challenges, we see that as a wall, and we figure out how we’re going to go through it, around it or over it. Ultimately, we have to do that for our community.”
Over the past 10 years — through political headwinds, natural disasters, economic disruptions, and unprecedented legislative challenges — the Chamber has continued to grow, advocate, convene, and lead.
And as the article makes clear:
We are at tables today that we were not at 10 years ago.
This recognition by the Houston Business Journal during our 10-Year Anniversary milestone year is not just a celebration of leadership — it is a testament to our members, partners, sponsors, and community who have helped build an economy where everyone belongs.
✨ We are deeply grateful to Janet Miranda and the Houston Business Journal for shining a spotlight on this work — and on the power of inclusive economic leadership in Greater Houston.
