we advocate at the local, state and federal level for the environment that business needs to succeed.

PARTNERSHIPS

We help drive policy and advocacy in areas critical to inclusive and equitable economic growth by playing a leading role in partnerships with other advocacy groups, trade organizations, and regional chambers and through collaboration with public agencies, county offices, and our local colleges and universities.

Our well-established relationships with the community and business leaders enhance and strengthen our members’ ability to succeed and drive job growth.

I joined the Chamber because I saw this group as the strongest leaders in the greater Sacramento area for advocacy of business concerns, and fostering community development. I have been so pleased by the welcome I have received and remain highly impressed with the difference we are making.
