Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce
As a nonprofit fostering leadership, advocating for businesses, and providing information to the community, strength in numbers across the Coast sets the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce apart and brings support to its diverse communities.
A member-based nonprofit, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber is made up of over nearly 1,000 businesses representing more than 50,000 employees and upwards 6,000 contacts spanning throughout the Gulf Coast region. It strives to improve the business climate and communities by providing programs and support that connect, inform, advocate and develop. Its umbrella organization was built on the philosophy of the One Coast efforts and comprises the Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach and Pass Christian Chambers of Commerce, as well as Leadership Gulf Coast Coast Young Professionals and Military One Coast.
“As a business member, my company finds value in having one membership with the access of five chambers of commerce and other programs,” said Nikki Johns with AGJ Systems and past president of the Gulfport Chamber of Commerce. “As a community member, the reach and local impact this organization has is invaluable.”
