Founded in 2016, the Chamber promotes diversity and inclusion across the business landscape in Central Ohio, helping LGBTQ+ businesses thrive and connect with broader economic opportunities.

We strive to dismantle barriers faced by LGBTQ+ business owners through programs that include professional development, networking events, and supplier diversity initiatives. By joining the Chamber, businesses can access the LGBT Business Enterprise® (LGBTBE®) certification, which opens doors to corporate supply chains and procurement opportunities, while also fostering connections with key stakeholders across industries. As an affiliate of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), we connect our members to a national network of over 1.4 million LGBTQ+ business owners and corporate partners.

At the Diversity Chamber, we are committed to creating an equitable and inclusive economy where LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs can excel, contributing to the vibrant business community of Central Ohio. Whether you are a small business owner, corporate leader, or ally, the Diversity Chamber welcomes you to join our mission to advance diversity, innovation, and success for all.
