History of The Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce
The Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce began in 1899 as The Waco Business Men's Club. In 1916 the charter name was officially changed to The Waco Chamber of Commerce. Their charter, No. 8966, was issued by D.H. Head, Secretary of State, on Nov. 29, 1899. A charter amendment, filed on June 23, 1916 and approved by the Secretary of State on June 27, changed the name to Waco Chamber of Commerce. On June 6, 2008, the Greater Waco Chamber opened the first green Chamber building in America. The organization's record of service since its inception reflects the unselfish leadership of many distinguished Wacoans and the efforts of hundreds of its members.
