What is AABC?

The Arab American Business Chamber (AABC) is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, and nonreligious organization dedicated to uniting and empowering Arab American entrepreneurs, professionals, and business leaders. Our goal is to foster economic growth, cultural pride, and lasting community partnerships.

Our mission

We are committed to:

• Promoting the success and visibility of Arab American-owned businesses

• Building bridges across communities through cultural appreciation and collaboration

• Providing access to resources, networking, mentorship, and business development tools

• Advocating for inclusive economic opportunities and representation

Founded in August 2024 by a small group of passionate Arab American professionals, AABC emerged from a vision to create a space where Arab American business voices could be heard, supported, and celebrated. What began with a core founding team has since evolved into a dynamic organization with a growing membership base, impactful programs, signature events, and strategic partnerships. Our roots remain deeply grounded in the values of community, unity, and entrepreneurship.

Message from the Founder

“We created AABC to serve as more than just a networking platform—it’s a movement to uplift Arab American businesses and amplify our contributions to the wider economy. We believe in the strength of our community, and we’re proud to provide a space where our culture and business values come together to create real impact.”
— Founder: Farah Kanchar, MBA

From local business mixers to city-level recognitions during Arab American Heritage Month, AABC is leading the way in connecting professionals and showcasing the richness and talent within our community.
