On behalf of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors and business community, I am proud to present the 2005/2006 Membership Directory and Community Guide. As the advocate for the business community, the Chamber provides programs and services to ensure a favorable business climate, and acts as the vehicle to promote the area’s economic and social progress.
Since 1920, the Chamber has been — as it will continue to be — a force for constructive change in the community. We are proud of our contributions to our community: advocacy and support for the Trinity River Development Project, obtaining the first four year public University within Dallas, the retention of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in Southern Dallas County, and facilitating the involvement of business leaders in civic and community affairs — activities that added value to our families, our businesses and our institutions.
Take a look at our Chamber website (www.oakcliffcham ber.org), designed exclusively for members and visitors to the community. Our 500-plus Chamber members are listed in this Directory and on our website. Support them with your purchases of products and services. This year, the Chamber is relocating just down the street to the ground floor of the Oak Cliff Tower building, 400 S. Zang Boulevard. I encourage you to visit the Chamber and utilize the staff as a valuable source of information about the business community.
Thank you for your continued support of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce. It is the ongoing and active partnership of individuals and businesses that enable us to serve the community. Working together, we can share our ideas, resources and hard work and build a bridge to great things in 2006 and beyond.
Eighty-five years and going strong!

The Chamber’s 2005/2006 Membership Directory and Community Guide provides only a glimpse into a community where the past is revered, the present is lived to the fullest and the future offers opportunities beyond the imagination. If you are a new Oak Cliff business or resident, we welcome you and invite you to join us by making our community an even better place to live, work, and/or grow your business.
Oak Cliff is a community that enjoys our neighbors, supports our local businesses, and cares about a quality of life that embraces diversity. We are proud of the values we represent and the goals we are working towards. Oak Cliff has a diverse economy with a broad base in such sectors as manufacturing, warehousing, higher education, finance, medical services and technology — as well as hundreds of independent entrepreneurs. We are home to Methodist Health System, the Dallas Zoo, headquarters of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), Renaissance Hospital, three colleges/two universities, and a host of many other great companies and corporations. We are the southern gateway to the futuristic “Trinity River Project” — which will change the landscape of Dallas forever. Our civic/business organizations, area churches/places of worship and cultural activities provide excellent support and opportunities for involvement within our community. From our humble beginnings in the 1880s to a progressive community today, Oak Cliff maintains a “hometown” feeling.
Oak Cliff is a great place to work, live and raise a family. Our Chamber Board of Directors and staff take great pride in promoting our community. We encourage you to become involved in our Chamber, and more importantly, become involved in the community. To learn more about membership benefits, services and opportunities for involvement, contact our staff at (214) 943-4567 or visit our website at www.oakcliffchamber.org.
Live the Good Life and Shop Oak Cliff!
