Our mission at the Chamber is to facilitate community leadership to create economic prosperity for the entire region and everyone that calls the Nashville area home. We strive to make Middle Tennessee welcoming to diverse groups of professionals and we’re proud to support Nashville’s women in business.

It’s no secret that Nashville is booming. It’s now known as a hotbed for entrepreneurs in a wide variety of industries, including women-owned businesses and companies led by female executives.

In fact, women entrepreneurs have been a boon to the Nashville area economy. In a 2015 study, the Chamber’s Research Center found that there are 4,756 women-owned businesses in the Nashville area. These businesses employ over 41,000 workers and contribute more than $1.6 billion to the local economy.
