The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce (GHCC) originally incorporated in 1886 as the Harlem Board of Trade, is now in its 3rd millennium of continued services to the Upper Manhattan area in general and the New York region in particular.

Our Chamber has served as an anchor of continued stability bridging the periods of urban neglect to the future of urban prosperity. The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce has in the past thirty years particularly focused on the renaissance and revitalization of upper Manhattan.

Today, the mission of our Chamber is to improve the quality of life for all of our residents, as well as to develop and attract quality business and professional services.

We are pleased that our Chamber dramatically continues to attract an ever-growing local, regional, national and international support base, ranging form single proprietors to fortune 500 Corporations.

Our members consist of those who wish to contribute to and thrive from Harlem’s world-renowned vitality and recognition as a worldwide tourist, entertainment, sports, arts, cultural, educational, historic, religious and health services destination of international diversity.
