About the MIC

The McKinney Chamber of Commerce is an advocate for the McKinney business community and proudly serves as the unified business voice of McKinney. We are guided by our mission to “Lead, Connect, and Empower our Stakeholders to Advance Business and Community Excellence”. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is critical to our work.

The Chamber, which celebrated its Centennial in 2014, represents over 40,000 employees from more than 1,100 business investors in McKinney and throughout the North Texas region. Since 2019, the McKinney Chamber has been intentionally working to deepen our commitment to the work of DEI.

With a rich heritage of leadership and collaboration, the Chamber works in concert with the City of McKinney, community partners, and the corporate community to promote, advocate for and expand the business.

Peggy's Headshot

“In a time of change and disruption, I am honored to serve as Chair of the McKinney Inclusion Council. Our mission is to ensure that everyone is not only invited to the table but also encouraged to participate in the conversation. By fostering inclusivity, we strengthen our community—making McKinney an even greater place to live and work. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That’s why we remain committed to removing barriers and creating pathways for success. We take on this challenge with positivity and purpose.”
