About the MIC
The McKinney Chamber of Commerce is an advocate for the McKinney business community and proudly serves as the unified business voice of McKinney. We are guided by our mission to “Lead, Connect, and Empower our Stakeholders to Advance Business and Community Excellence”. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is critical to our work.
The Chamber, which celebrated its Centennial in 2014, represents over 40,000 employees from more than 1,100 business investors in McKinney and throughout the North Texas region. Since 2019, the McKinney Chamber has been intentionally working to deepen our commitment to the work of DEI.
With a rich heritage of leadership and collaboration, the Chamber works in concert with the City of McKinney, community partners, and the corporate community to promote, advocate for and expand the business.
In moments of transformation and growth, I’m proud to lead as Chair of the McKinney Inclusion Council. Our purpose is to go beyond extending invitations—we strive to cultivate spaces where every voice is welcomed, valued, and heard. Inclusion isn’t just a principle; it’s a pathway to a stronger, more vibrant community. Inclusion isn’t just about being invited—it’s about being engaged. McKinney thrives when opportunity is accessible to all. That’s why we remain focused on breaking down barriers and building bridges to success. With optimism and intention, we embrace this work and the impact it creates.
