In 2000 it was the first LGBT chamber in the nation to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the US Small Business Administration, recognizing our status as a minority business association.Ī founding member of the NGLCC, SDEBA takes an active role in national level programs to meet the needs of small businesses. SDEBA prides itself on outreach to other business chambers and to society at large. We are one of the largest specialty chambers in San Diego County and the second oldest LGBTQ and supportive chamber in the nation.
Founded in 1979, the San Diego Equality Business Association (formerly Greater San Diego Business Association GSDBA) continues to support small businesses in San Diego while advocating for mainstream acceptance of diversity.
