ACC provides the Arizona AAPI community with access to critical resources, mentorship, advocacy, and opportunities, driving sustainable success and amplifying the voices of our communities.

Why the Asian Chamber of Commerce Exists:
To Empower the AAPI Community:
The Chamber exists to equip AAPI-owned businesses with the tools, resources, and networks needed to succeed and thrive in a competitive market. It focuses on fostering sustainable growth within a historically underrepresented community while offering membership opportunities and promoting cultural development.
To Advocate for Equity and Representation:
AAPI voices have been underrepresented in business, policy, and media. The Asian Chamber ensures the community’s contributions and concerns are recognized by advocating for inclusive policies and equitable opportunities.
To Build Bridges Across Communities:
The Asian Chamber serves as a bridge, connecting businesses, policymakers, and cultural organizations to create opportunities for collaboration and shared prosperity. It fosters unity while celebrating diversity, connecting all cultures into spaces like the International District, and turning ideas into reality.
To Celebrate Culture and Heritage:
Beyond economics, the Chamber celebrates the rich cultural heritage of AAPI communities, using events, publications, and programs to preserve traditions, promote cultural understanding, and foster continuous engagement.
To Develop Future Leaders:
The Chamber invests in leadership development to cultivate visionary, ethical leaders who can drive innovation, advocate for the community, and inspire future generations.
To Strengthen the Economy:
By supporting AAPI entrepreneurs and businesses, the Chamber contributes to the overall economic vitality of Arizona, creating jobs and opportunities for all.
