HEB Chamber

What HEB Chamber does

The HEB Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit membership association founded in 1953 to support businesses in the Hurst, Euless, and Bedford (HEB) area of Tarrant County, Texas. Operating from its headquarters at 2109 Martin Drive in Bedford, the chamber represents over 800 (and by some counts more than 1,000) area businesses across industries ranging from healthcare and banking to legal services, local retail, and government entities. Its mission centers on business advocacy, economic development, workforce development, and member promotion, making it the only organization working full-time on behalf of businesses in the HEB region. The chamber is one of fewer than 3% of U.S. chambers to earn 4-Star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber operates as a community- and sales-led membership organization with a small professional staff (1–10 employees) led by President and CEO Mary Martin Frazior, a board of directors, and an annual rotating chairmanship. Revenue derives from four streams: recurring annual membership dues (tiered by total dollars spent on dues, sponsorships, and advertising), event and program sponsorships, advertising, and event fees from activities such as golf tournaments, luncheons, EXPO, and networking events. The Major Partners Program offers tiered sponsorship packages (Chairman's Circle, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) that bundle membership, advertising, and event sponsorships. Its technology footprint is minimal: the chamber runs on a WordPress website with no public API, no mobile app, and no disclosed proprietary technology platform; engagement is driven primarily through in-person events, monthly newsletters, email, and Facebook groups.

Service delivery runs through multiple branded programs including Leadership HEB (community leadership development), HYPE HEB (young professionals under 45), WILD (women's leadership luncheons), Youth in Government, Challenge by Choice (7th-grade workforce readiness), Business Success Series, Chamber Cheers, monthly membership luncheons, weekly leads groups, and new-member orientation receptions. These programs create the chamber's core value proposition: networking, lead generation through leads groups, business referrals, advocacy representation, and community visibility for members.
