Strengthen the Community
Membership in the AGLCC is more than just helping yourself. LGBT businesses have many opportunities in marketing, advertising, and networking within the Austin community. However, only the AGLCC represents a way to not only help your own business but also to help the entire LGBT community.
Membership dues pay for more than just networking events! Supporting the Chamber means making an investment in Austin and in building a stronger LGBT community. AGLCC offers free membership, volunteer support, and at times financial support to non-profit and cultural organizations throughout Austin. Supporting the Chamber means supporting what makes Austin special!
The AGLCC does not employ any paid staff members, meaning every dollar raised through membership dues and event sponsorships is reinvested back into the community through chamber initiatives across the Austin area.
The AGLCC has partnered with key organizations to facilitate coordination of events, resources, volunteers, and marketing across the entire LGBT community. The Coalition represents an unprecedented level of cooperation which will prove to make the community stronger by leveraging the economic resources of the Chamber; reducing operating costs, developing stronger programming and events, and enabling a strong, cohesive LGBT community.
Membership in the AGLCC provides the most broad, direct access to reaching the entire LGBT community through our partnerships with the following Coalition members:
- AGLCC
- allgo
- Atticus Circle
- Equality Texas
- Human Rights Campaign
- OutYouth
- PFLAG
- TACT
