Tammi Wallace Marks a Decade of Impact for LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce
Houston leader discusses resilience, economic power, and what comes next.
Ten years ago, Tammi Wallace helped launch what would become one of the most influential LGBTQ business organizations in the country. Today, as the co-founder, president, and CEO of the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, she’s celebrating what she calls “a decade of impact” as well as her recent Houston Business Journal cover story.
Wallace brings nearly 15 years of corporate experience at Bank of America and Mellon Bank, a background in grassroots politics (including serving as the chief of staff to former State Rep. Ellen Cohen), more than two decades of LGBTQ community leadership, and entrepreneurial experience of her own. That intersection, she says, is what allows her to see not just the tactical work, but the long game of LGBTQ economic inclusion.
Ten years in, Tammi Wallace sees clearly that the Chamber represents not just connection, but power—something that motivates her to help Houston’s LGBTQ community thrive economically in the coming decades.
