New Jersey Pride Chamber of Commerce

Our Mission: The New Jersey Pride Chamber of Commerce advances the business interests of LGBTQ+ and allied professionals in the tri-state area. We promote the economic growth and development of our members by providing LGBT Business Enterprise certification, networking opportunities, and a range of other business and professional development resources. What We Do: Certification We promote the certification of LGBTQ+ owned businesses into “LGBT Business Enterprises? (LGBT-BEs?)”. Certification is vital in providing more equitable access to the procurement streams of corporations, state and public agencies, and educational institutions. Education We provide webinars, workshops, networking events, and forums to aid professionals in increasing their knowledge and business acumen. Networking We host business and social networking events for our members to meet one another and form valuable relationships. Corporate Outreach We build relationships with New Jersey corporations and make them aware of local, certified small businesses by engaging their LGBTQ+ employee resource groups and diversity officers. Additionally, we actively promote and participate in corporate events focused on small business procurement, diversity, and inclusion. Government Outreach We regularly engage public and state agencies, elected officials, and those seeking public office to place a focus on the LGBTQ+ business community as a unique constituency. We often invite government officials to our events – not just as attendees, but as speakers to address policies, programs, and legislation that directly affect the small business community. Student Outreach We partner with colleges and universities by engaging their LGBTQ+ student groups and career offices, offering internships, volunteer opportunities, and information sharing. Our goal is to prepare LGBTQ+ students entering the business world as out professionals by helping them establish early connections in the LGBTQ+ business community.
