WHO WE ARE

The Colorado LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce was originally called the Colorado Business Council, founded in 1992. In response to Amendment 2, outlawing “special rights” for the LGBTQ community, led Colorado to being branded the “hate state”. Chambers of Commerce is the economic voice of its community. LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce was created from a spark of innovation, and a global movement was launched.
