Mission

The mission of the GCAACC is to serve as an advocate and the conscience of the African American and minority business community. The GCAACC strives to insure economic parity by promoting and assisting in community and economic development.

The Chamber...

The GCAACC was formed by a group of business owners who desired to increase their share of economic growth in this community. The Chamber was formed in 1999. Its goal was and is to provide the resources which will enable its members to prosper and be recognized as a community partner participating in the available economic opportunities.

The Chamber is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. Its membership consists of businesses, non-profit organizations and individuals who share the vision of economic empowerment for the African American, small business, and the minority community.

The GCAACC is committed to increasing the economic power of its members through workshops, seminars, and technical assistance to its members. The Chamber constantly strives to serve its members and fulfill its mission to promote and assist in community and economic development. The focus of these events is to create civic, industrial, and commercial ventures that are diverse and reflect the views of the Pensacola minority business community.
