The Galleria Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit partnership of businesses and professionals
working together towards a common goal - to build a healthy economy, to build YOUR business,
and to improve the quality of life in our communities.
The mission of the Chamber is to enable its members to do TOGETHER what they might not be able
to do individually. We believe the effectiveness and success of the Galleria Chamber depends
on our credibility and representation of the community's business interests.
After all, Houston's Galleria Area is one of the largest business districts in the United
States and is adjacent to the busiest juncture in Texas: the West 610 Loop and
US Highway 59.
As we continue to rebound from recent downturns in our nation's economic climate, the Chamber continues
to pursue our motto to make our community a better place for everyone to live and work. Only through the
unending support and teamwork of our members will the Chamber be able to continue to achieve its goals
and ensure its continued success.
