Who We Are:

The Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City was formed in 1998 as a non-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote business and cultural relationships among members of the Chamber, local and national corporations, and the general public. According to the 2002 Economic Census, the Greater Kansas City area has 2,856 Asian American businesses with annual sales of nearly 1 billion dollars and annual payroll of over $152 million dollars. Asian Americans and their business community have made significant contributions to the local community in recent years.
