About the AGLCC

 

Our Mission
To cultivate and promote the economic well-being of LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly businesses in Central Texas through marketing, education, and community development.

The Chamber's primary services are the membership directory, community calendar, and our new quarterly magazine The Agenda.  These resources help Austin's LGBT community know where to best spend their hard-earned dollars, keeping gay money within the gay-supportive community.  Additionally, the AGLCC provides networking and educational opportunities for our members to strengthen our community and our businesses.
