History

The Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce was established in 1998 in Nashville, TN as a 501c3 not for profit organization. In 2003, the Chamber was re-chartered as a 501c4 organization.  This re-chartering allowed the Chamber to function as a Civic Association with members who support its mission and goals.

In 2005 the mission was revised to include three foundational principles: Promotion, Education, and Advancement.

In 1998, the Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce was founded by Rosetta Miller Perry, publisher of the Tennessee Tribune and Contempora Magazine.
