Today we’d like to introduce you to Tammi Wallace.
Today we’d like to introduce you to Tammi Wallace.
Hi Tammi, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born in Memphis, TN, and raised right outside of the city in a suburb located across the state line in Mississippi. I moved to Houston in 1986 to go to bible school. While bible school was not the right fit for me, it was the catalyst to get me to Houston, where I have lived ever since.
My career background spans business, education, nonprofit, and political/policy/advocacy. I have over two decades of involvement in the LGBTQ+ community in various leadership, volunteer, and career roles. Through my work in the community, I have always seen gaps/needs in terms of equity and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community, which is what led me to co-found the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce in 2016. ‘
My work at the Chamber is full circle with background in various industries, experience that has been invaluable in my role as the President & CEO and help me lead an organization that has grown to almost 500 members.
