The group helps businesses in North Texas grow through networking, promotion, education sessions and by working with state leaders and representatives.
Sally Aldridge, the president and CEO of the Metroport Chamber, said businesses from all over the metroplex are a part of the chamber. It has more than 500 members, and the chamber saw a new member growth rate of 25% in 2023.
The Metroport Chamber specifically works with the communities of Argyle, Justin, Northlake, Roanoke, Trophy Club and Westlake, but also fosters relationships with businesses in 51 cities, including Flower Mound, Southlake, Grapevine and Fort Worth, according to the organization.
Aldridge spoke with Community Impact on the benefits that members can glean across the 2025 membership levels, including networking access to the chamber’s on-site meeting rooms and office spaces, and how the organization is dedicated to helping startup businesses.

What services does the Metroport Chamber provide?
The Metroport Chamber brings together a wide spectrum of businesses, from Fortune 500 companies to medium-sized businesses to startups and small proprietorships. No other organization in our region provides such a concentrated forum to network face-to-face with local business professionals and leaders from the communities we represent and beyond.
How can members work with the Metroport Chamber to conduct business?
The Metroport Chamber offers a wide range of networking and promotional opportunities through tier-based membership and sponsorship. The chamber offers affordable business training and connects with local, county and state leaders to advocate for the business community.
There are several on-site suites and office spaces available at the chamber—how can members book/rent those spaces?
The Metroport Chamber offers many amenities to members at our building at 381 West Byron Nelson Blvd. in Roanoke. Small, medium and large conference room space for a minimal charge along with fully furnished leasable offices.
A benefit for being a chamber member is the use of Metroport Commons and professional workspace that includes wifi access, as well as coffee and tea.
How does using these spaces help support local businesses/the local economy?
As a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization, our services are geared specifically for the business community. We are the only chamber in the area offering an added benefit of office and meeting space to our members.
Our hope is that an entrepreneur or member starts by holding meetings at our professional building, advances to leasing an office and eventually moves to a larger footprint in our region to continue conducting business.
