What We Do

Providing an inclusive space for Tucson’s LGBTQIA+ professionals to network and build their businesses while simultaneously educating allies, the Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce (AKA “the Gaymber”) approaches advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community through an economic lens. We believe Inclusive Business is Good Business, and because we know the LGBTQIA+ community is a vital part of America as business owners, employers, employees, and consumers, we work tirelessly to support our local LGBTQ+ and allied business community.

Upcoming Public Events

September Breakfast with the Gaymber

We are incredibly excited about this panel talk with Daniel Sestiago, Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly, & Jenna Korsmo talking about two-spirit identity, cultivating cultural competence in relation to indigenous communities, and giving meaningful land acknowledgements. 

Plus ample networking, raffle prizes, and more. Our gratitude goes out to our sponsor Friends of the Pima County Library. We can’t wait to see you there!

Paint Ornaments for Pride w/ Ben's Bells

We will be joining Ben’s Bells in painting and decorating clay ornaments for this year’s Tucson Pride. The event is from 10a-12p with only 30 spot available.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 

Ben’s Bells are color ceramic ornaments hung in communities throughout the world as a symbol of kindness for people to find and take home. Their programs are designed to help us understand the human brain so we can develop our awareness and compassion for both ourselves and others.
