In 1922, the "Women's Division" of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce was formed.  By 1937, the division became self-sustainable and the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta was chartered.  The WCC planted the first tree downtown Atlanta, successfully lobbied to the Georgia Board of Regents for women to be admitted into universities and managed the Atlanta Dogwood Festival for decades before it became its own entity.  In 2016, after 10 years of dormancy, the Women's Chamber was revived with the mission of promoting the advancement of women in entrepreneurship, leadership and the workplace.
