Founded in 1974, the Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA) is America’s first LGBT Chamber of Commerce and began as the first business organization founded by gay and lesbian entrepreneurs. Our mission was, and still is, to grow, promote and increase the visibility of LGBT businesses and those businesses in the community that support them.
The GGBA provides networking opportunities, marketing exposure and diversified programs which empower its members to create, grow and retain business. Being a member of the GGBA is being a part of a community that reaches far beyond its membership alone. Through collaborating with other prominent business and professional organizations, the GGBA helps build a more cohesive network to provide its members with more resources, engage civil leaders on business-related issues and work together to create solutions in today’s rapidly changing and increasingly challenging economic conditions.
For more information about the GGBA or any of its programs, please contact us or call the GGBA offices at (415) 865-5545.
For 35 years the Golden Gate Business Association has grown, promoted and increased visibility for San Francisco Bay Area LGBT & LGBT-friendly businesses.
