Our vision is Black economic freedom. We execute our mission via our 5 pillars of service, advocacy, access to capital, access to contracts, entrepreneurial training, and ecosystem development.

The GDBCC is led by a 17-member volunteer Board of Directors that provides strategic guidance and oversight in key areas, including but not limited to development, finance, marketing, membership, and programming. Our current Board leaders include Chair Larry Borders, Vice Chair Thomas Whitehead, and Treasurer Cheryl Hodge.
The work of the chamber is executed by our staff, contractors, consultants, and volunteers. This effort is led by our President/CEO CJ Broderick.
