Welcome to the Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce (GHACC) is a member-focused organization through which members can effectively develop their business and themselves. Since its founding in 1988, the hallmark of the Chamber has, and continues to be: “People do business with people they know, like, and trust.” Relationships developed in the Chamber become part of one’s business infrastructure. New friends can be found in the Chamber and some of those friendships will last a lifetime. Members can learn how to grow their markets, supply their business, mentor associates or even find a special mentor. GHACC works diligently to provide benefit to all members, be they new, or long-term.
This growing Chamber provides a forum into which its members’ businesses can fit together in an atmosphere of mutual benefit. Active participation provides multiple benefits including access to the entrepreneurs and management of business and organizations with differing viewpoints and methods that work. An abundance of activities provide networking occasions to create new business opportunities, obtain business referrals, join committees, have fun and enjoy a camaraderie unique to Heights Chamber members.
Just as the “Heights” is known for its uniqueness and historical Houston significance, the GHACC blends businesses, promotes “Buy Local First,” and has often been described as a “not so well kept secret for successfully serving its members.”

Member Spotlight
Nicole Pepper
“I moved to Houston and the Heights in 2019 from Phoenix, Arizona, where I attended Arizona State University and got my professional career started in project management specifically with non-profit organizations. Originally though, I am from Florida and relish in the hot and humid weather that Houston is known for!
I have a passion for building better communities and upon moving to Houston, decided to take that passion and become a real estate agent – because what better way to make an impact and get to know your community than by buying and selling it! Being part of the Steel Door Realty team has been a joy in helping me build my career. The knowledge and drive of the entire team, and true intentions of putting clients first speaks volumes to me.
I have always been a determined and hard worker, infusing myself into every aspect of my projects, which is why real estate became such a natural fit – you work around the clock to make people happy! In addition to real estate, I am a freelance writer. I write for health and wellness companies and am a ghostwriter. I enjoy learning new things and sharing my knowledge with others. I love helping people grow and find what makes them happy, healthy, and prosperous.
Moving to the Heights was a no-brainer when we were planning our move to Houston. The charm, accessibility, and walkability drew us in, and the community is so tight-knit – I feel I’ve lived here all my life! I immediately knew I wanted to be involved with the community and joined the Heights Chamber and am a program impact committee member with Baker Ripley.
My husband is a Houston-native and it is so exciting to me to be living near family, especially as we have two growing boys who idolize their uncles and aunts. In our spare time, we love being outside – you can find us running or biking on the Heights Hike and Bike Trail or playing sports at Herkimer or Love Park.”

Taking care of business, community and businesses in the community!
Being a member of the Greater Heights Chamber allows us to participate and help in the community our business is located in, and we receive back manifolds in terms of networking and business from our fellow members!
There are multiple events and committees scheduled at various times of month so that there is something suitable for everyone’s calendar.
Being a chamber member keep us informed, gives access to local government agencies, affords effective networking all while building a strong and resilient community!
Here’s why being on a Chamber Committee expands my business connections.
“Joining other Chamber members on a committee establishes recognition of me for my business and service capabilities. With an opportunity to provide new ideas or input in the planning and staging of Chamber events, I have the occasion to meet and interact with fellow members in different fields. Working together provides an arena for me to expand my skills in areas where I may not have been involved before. Equally important is learning how vital collaboration can be to my future success. The Chamber offers a variety of committees, so there are many looking to grow and add new talent.”
Here’s why I Sponsor a Chamber Event!
“One of the benefits of being a part of the Heights Chamber is the opportunity to promote and highlight my business in a cost-effective way to fellow members. I have found that sponsoring an event brings with it an additional emphasis on my business and recognition of me and my services. I know that members do business with fellow members and getting them to know me and my capabilities better, leads to future business and referrals.”
