Welcome to the
Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce!
At the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce (DEBCC), we are driven to do our part in changing the economic footprint for small businesses in the First State and beyond. The Chamber remains a solid voice for the Black business community while continuously refocusing its efforts to meet the ever changing needs of its members
It’s more than a business as usual membership organization. It’s the best friend and partner of its members, working exclusively on their behalf and providing the assistance and support they need. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our members.
The Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce is proud to be the newest member of the National Black Chamber family.
Joining the National Black Chambers will provide us with a platform to engage, educate and empower, established businesses, business owners, as well as future entrepreneurs. We will commit our resources of people, time, information and capital toward providing opportunities that create wealth and equity within our communities.

Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce’s Vision, Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to support the initiatives of Black business owners and foster an enterprise that focuses on success and viability. We endeavor to create awareness and visibility of our efforts at local, state and federal levels through lobbying and advocacy. We strive to provide access to education and training that keeps Black business owners in step with the ever changing requirements of Delaware’s economic playing field.
Together We Are Stronger
Our mutual goal is to enable Black businesses to compete in Delaware. DEBCC works to ensure that minority and other disadvantaged entrepreneurs are not left behind due to unfair assumptions and a lack of effort to help them achieve success. Together, we can provide the necessary assistance and support system and instill a sense of pride in the Black business community.
