The Collective is an LGBTQIA+ Chamber of Commerce that affirms and supports its members through a wide array of programs and services aimed at fostering sustainable growth and success. This comprehensive effort is driven by the belief that economic empowerment is a cornerstone of community resilience. By providing targeted resources and opportunities, The Collective aims to:
Promote LGBTQIA+ business ownership

A Collaborative Effort
The success of The Collective is fueled by the diverse expertise of our board of directors, many of whom are business owners or professionals in their respective fields.
