A Valued Member of the MAC6 Community
The Tempe Chamber of Commerce isn’t just an organization—it’s a cornerstone of our ecosystem here at MAC6. Housed within our Entrepreneurial Center at 1438 W. Broadway Road in Tempe, the Chamber relocated to our space because of our shared commitment to fostering thriving businesses and people. Representing over 550 businesses and 70,000 employees, the Chamber has been a champion for economic vitality and quality of life in Tempe for over a century. Their presence here enhances our community by connecting our members to a broader network of opportunities, resources, and advocacy.
As a Growth Academy, MAC6 focuses on empowering individuals and organizations to reach their full potential. The Tempe Chamber complements this mission with its own emphasis on leadership development and business growth, creating a synergy that benefits everyone in our space—whether you’re a solo entrepreneur dreaming big, a midsized company scaling up, or a regional office strengthening your local presence.

Supporting Our Nonprofits with the Tempe Chamber
MAC6 is proud to be home to many nonprofits, organizations that do incredible work to uplift our community.
