The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce has over 60 years of history assisting business and economic development in North Tulsa. Since it’s founding, the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce has continually sought to revitalize the development of entrepreneurship and community development with the North Tulsa area. The creed, “rebuilding the community one business and one job at a time,” led to the establishment of the Greenwood Business Resource Centre (GBRC), the only micro-enterprise program in the City of Tulsa. Another affiliate organization of the GCC, the Greenwood Community Development Corporation (GCDC), operates one of three micro lending programs in the city. The GCDC was certified as a Community Development Financial Institution in 1998 and a Small Business Administration Intermediary Micro Lender in 1999.

The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce continues its work with public/private partners, as well as, community organizations to turn the dream of a mixed-use community into reality in the Greenwood District and North Tulsa. Through these partnerships the GCC will continue to sponsor vendor workshops and small business seminars. The GCC’s network of supporters extends beyond the borders of Tulsa County, and upon request the GCC has worked with Oklahoma’s Historically Black Towns to improve the quality of life for citizens in those communities.

Today the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce operates under the same principles as its founding fathers and has returned to the forefront of economic and community resurgence with emphasis placed on the historic Greenwood Business District and North Tulsa. Being a member of the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce makes a profound statement of:

• COMMITMENT to maintain involvement is a corporation that is known for having a proven track record of promoting the business interests of North Tulsa. It is indicative of support for business, job creation and promotion of the economic well being in the North Tulsa community. The investment works for the good of all without placing undue physical demands and time constraints upon the investors.

• DESIRE to see the community economically revitalized by monetarily supporting a corporation that is committed to the economic development and empowerment of North Tulsa.
