About WACC

Wisconsin's African Business
Community Has Always Been Here.
Now We Have a Chamber.

"Every industry. Every profession. One Chamber."
Wisconsin's African Business Community



The Wisconsin African Chamber of Commerce is the organized economic voice of African businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals across Wisconsin. We are a formally established 501(c)(6) business league — the same legal and institutional structure as every major chamber in the state.

We are headquartered in Milwaukee. We serve entrepreneurs, businesses, professionals, investors, nonprofit organizations, community organizations, and strategic partners working together to strengthen Wisconsin's African business ecosystem.

African entrepreneurs and professionals in Wisconsin have long been building businesses, creating jobs, and contributing to this state's economy with excellence. WACC is the institution that ensures that contribution is recognized, supported, and amplified — in the boardrooms, at the capitol, in the funding programs, and in the networks where Wisconsin's economic future is shaped.
