Global Chamber^® was founded in November, 2014 with 3 chapters... Phoenix, Tucson and Salt Lake City, USA. Watch the initial event with then Mayor Greg Stanton (now U.S. Representative Stanton) at Phoenix City Hall. Since then we've grown to hundreds of metro areas around the world mostly outside the U.S. We're not a U.S.-backed organization... we support business between all metros, everywhere!

The inspiration to start Global Chamber^® came from something that the son of a former U.S. Senator said to a crowded room in 2014. He declared... "We don't need foreigners in the state of Arizona because they take our jobs". By the next day founder Doug Bruhnke had initiated a monthly speaking series with exporters. That was followed with visits to other cities and the beginning of an idea that if a 'chamber of commerce' had locations everywhere and focused on warm connections, it would help companies become global faster, with less risk.

Global Chamber^® was born... now growing in 525 metros around the world... supporting global business with warm connections and more. There is literally nothing like us in the world. There are organizations focused on trade in general, and others focused on real estate that do trade in some of their locations. Nothing wrong with that... it's just not us... and our members love our uniqueness.
