History
The East Dallas Chamber of Commerce was incorporated
in 1945 to serve the local businesses in the East Dallas area. The Dallas
Northeast Chamber of Commerce came into being January 1, 1997, with the
consolidation of the East Dallas Chamber and the Lakewood Chamber. By doing so,
the new chamber had an increased membership and more businesses involved with a
total community development.
The first Chamber of Commerce was originated in
Marseilles, France late in the 17th century. Today, every country in the world
has a chamber in some form. In the United States, there are more than 40,000
Chambers of Commerce, most of which serve local communities.
The Dallas Northeast Chamber of Commerce is a member
of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the State of Texas Chamber of Commerce, and the
Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce
