The Nashville LGBT Chamber is working hard for our members, the LGBT+ community, and Nashville as a whole, to be the best place to do business that’s equal and open for all. We advocate and educate on behalf of our individual, small business, corporate, and nonprofit members who share the values of promoting equality and diversity in business and society.

Announcing the Pride in Business Awards
Same amazing business awards luncheon, new name! The Nashville LGBT Chamber will present its annual business awards at a high-profile event on Friday, June 5, 2020, at one of our newest members, the beautiful JW Marriott Nashville.
Support the Nashville LGBT Chamber Foundation at our annual Pride in Business Awards, formerly the Excellence in Business Awards, which includes a ‘who’s who’ of corporate leaders, small business owners, civic leaders and professionals. Over 500 guests attend this high-energy event that has become known for its powerful audience, emotional acceptance speeches, and optimism among those committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Visit our website for ticket information, sponsorship opportunities and how to nominate individuals and businesses for the awards.
Monthly Networking Event: Brewing Up Business
Brewing up Business is our monthly networking mixer, which is free for members and first-time guests. Our next networking event of the year will be at a member who hosts musicians all the time. Join us at Top Golf on Thursday, March 19 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Food and beverages will be served. Come give the chamber a test drive and hit a golf ball while you connect with our network!
We will announce finalists for the Pride in Business Awards at our April Brewing Up Business on April 16. Watch our website for location updates.
Legislative Session
The Nashville LGBT Chamber released an open letter from over 150 businesses that opposed the signing of the Adoption Bill and warned lawmakers not to pass any further discriminatory legislation. Further discrimination will harm Tennessee’s ability to attract and retain talent to the state and will bring an economic punishment from boycotts and business and people not coming here. We are working hard to make sure this does not happen. Join us.
LGBT Certified Businesses
We are constantly certifying LGBT Business Entreprises. Certification is a great way to level the playing field for LGBT businesses through the procurement process. Certification is normally $400 but waived if you’re a business member of our chamber. Contact us to get certified.
