Members of the Texas Asian Chamber of Commerce and the Austin Asian American Chamber of Commerce have approved merging the two groups.
The two chambers unanimously approved the mergers on Nov. 1.

Ali Khataw, the Austin Asian chamber chairman, said combining resources of both groups can produce a "much more vibrant, impactful and valuable organization."

"The growth and expansion of Central Texas, in addition to both chambers being healthy financially and operationally were key reasons members wanted to move forward with the intent to merge," he said in a statement.
A target date for the merger has yet to be announced.
