Empowering Our Community, One Individual at a Time

A

t the Black Community Development and Chamber of Commerce of Arkansas (BCDCCA), our goal is to economically empower and sustain Underserved, Overburdened, Socially Disadvantaged, Low-to-Moderate Income, and Distressed communities in Arkansas. We believe that by providing individuals with essential resources, networking opportunities, and professional support, we can foster personal growth, generational wealth creation, and stronger communities.

Each membership package below is designed to give you direct access to the Chamber’s supportive network, programs, and resources.

Our Community-First Commitment

We deeply value our members’ dedication to empowering the Underserved, Overburdened, Socially Disadvantaged, Low-to-Moderate Income, and Distressed communities in Arkansas. Membership in BCDCCA connects you to an extensive network of professionals, educational opportunities, and resources. However, membership does not grant any individual or organization the ability to influence the Chamber’s guiding mission. We remain committed to serving the best interests of Underserved, Overburdened, Socially Disadvantaged, Low-to-Moderate Income, and Distressed communities in Arkansas.

 

Individual vs. Business Membership

Individual Membership connects you personally to the Chamber’s educational programs, networking events, and community initiatives, supporting your own professional development and leadership journey. By contrast, our Business Membership tiers—which you can explore in the next section—provide expanded benefits tailored to companies, such as brand visibility, organizational networking, and specialized business resources.

If you or your organization is ready to make an even greater impact, we invite you to continue to our Sponsorship Page, where you’ll find exclusive opportunities for branding, collaboration, and meaningful community investment. We look forward to working with you in driving positive change across Arkansas.
