Leading By Example
The Greater Dallas Chamber is the business advocate for regional prosperity. The Chamber recognizes members of three groups who make a difference in the region through their Chamber involvement.
  • The Chairman's Circle recognizes members' CEOs who provide broad and significant financial support to the Chamber's programs in economic development and public policy through dues and other contributions. Chairman's Circle members pay fair share dues of at least $2,500 and at least $10,000 in total annual financial support to the Chamber.
  • The Business Council recognizes members who pay more than $2,500 annually in fair share dues to the Chamber but do not qualify for the Chairman's Circle, and 
  • Momentum Dallas Investors Group recognizes members who provide a minimum of $5,000 annually to support the Chamber's efforts in recruiting corporate relocations and expansions to the region.
