Michael Mazzocco with Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce
The Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce (GPECC) is one of the oldest LGBTQ+ chambers in the country.
Founded in 1980 as the Camelback Business Association, we have grown and flourished in the valley of the sun for over 40 years now. 
We changed out name in 2000 to the Gay & Lesbian Chamber and then in 2020 we changed our name to the Equality Chamber to be more inclusive of the entire community.
GPECC promotes an equitable business community by supporting the interests of the LGBTQ+ businesses in the Greater Phoenix area.
We accomplish this by fostering business growth, visibility, connections, and professional development opportunities.
Michael Mazzocco is the Board Chair for the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce who serves the LGBTQ+ business community.
Their mission of working towards an equitable business community thru values like equality, leadership, diversity, respect, and gratitude resonate with him.
He loves to find ways to help spread these values thru collaboration with other organizations around the valley. In addition to this board, Michael was appointed by the mayor to serve as the Vice-Chair for the Human Relations Commission for the City of Phoenix.
He also serves on the board of the Phoenix Gay Men’s Chorus that strives to unite, inspire, educate, and entertain its diverse audiences, members, allies, and supporting partners.
As well as the Arizona Costume Institute board which serves the Phoenix Art Museum to sustain their vast collection of fashion thru the ages. Michael is a Valley Leadership participant (Catalyze class 1 and Explore class 1) and has an obvious passion for being a change maker here in the Valley of the Sun.
His passion and volunteerism highlight his motto that if he has time to watch tv, he has time to change the world.
Michael is the owner of Michael Mazzocco Events, a bespoke events company started in 2017. He specializes in high-end event coordination and fundraising for many non-profits and arts organizations around the valley.
When Michael is not working on our community, he lives in Central Phoenix with his partner, Isaac and their adorable furry princesses, Vivienne & Alexandra.
Being a proud gay indigenous (Delaware Nation) small business owner, a passion for positive change and education is what drives Michael to do better and be better every day.
