About Greater NC Black Chamber of Commerce #GNCBCC #GNCBCCfamily #GREATER
The Greater NC Black Chamber of Commerce, based in Greensboro, serves as a resource hub and advocacy voice for Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs across North Carolina under the tagline "JOIN. BUILD. GROW." The organization was founded by Linease Dixon-Washington, who established the chamber roughly fifteen years ago and has grown it into what the organization describes as a bridge builder and trusted voice within the state's Black business community. Services include a member business directory, multiple membership tiers ranging from Bronze up through a Platinum Lifetime level, regular networking events and community gatherings, employment opportunity connections, and assistance navigating federal contracting opportunities for member businesses looking to compete for government work. The chamber also hosts and coordinates larger events throughout the year, including an annual Gala that celebrates milestones and the organization's history while bringing members together for recognition and fundraising. Dr. Valerie Benton Smith has taken a prominent role in current chamber operations, hosting community events and programming as the organization continues its work under Dixon-Washington's founding vision. Recent initiatives have included networking events featuring notable guests, business galas, and partnerships with local dealerships and employment centers aimed at advancing economic opportunity for Black entrepreneurs in the Greensboro area and across the broader state. The chamber positions mentorship as central to its mission, pairing established business owners with newer entrepreneurs navigating the challenges of building and sustaining a business.
