About AICCO
Advocating for the Economic Growth of Indian Country in Oklahoma for More Than 30 Years
The American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Oklahoma (AICCO) has championed the economic growth of Indian Country by connecting Native-owned businesses, Tribal Nations, corporate partners, and community leaders across Oklahoma.
Founded in the early 1990s through a grant to the Indian Health Care Resource Center in Tulsa, AICCO was established to bring together Native business owners, tribal leadership, and essential resources to strengthen economic opportunity throughout Oklahoma.
Since its incorporation as a nonprofit 501(c)(6) organization, AICCO has served as a statewide platform for business growth by:
• Promoting Native-owned businesses
• Strengthening connections between Tribal Nations, corporations, and entrepreneurs
• Supporting tribal economic development initiatives
• Providing education, leadership development, training, and networking opportunities
• Creating pathways for long-term business success
Today, AICCO is advancing a bold 5-year statewide vision to expand into 8–10 active chapters and 2,000 engaged members, building a stronger Native business ecosystem through innovation, advocacy, collaboration, and leadership programs such as Leadership Native Oklahoma (LNO) and Young Leadership Native Oklahoma (YLNO).
