Advocacy

Who We Are

The North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce is the leading voice for business for our members and our community. We bring together like-minded individuals who share a common vision of a thriving economy, business growth and job creation. The Chamber advocates before local and regional governments on behalf of the business community and we take great responsibility in representing business to government.

From the time you first apply for a business license, you begin to realize the extent to which government is involved in commerce. With all of the demands of life and business, wading into complicated policy matters – where often no good turn goes unpunished – can become a fool’s errand. That is why the Chamber is involved in public policy; to raise our collective voices and fight for the interests of the business community, and to promote business and job growth based on free enterprise.

Stronger Together

The Chamber works with the Sacramento Metro Chamber, the Cal Chamber and US Chamber on policy and advocacy, and is an active participant in the Sacramento Business Coalition and the Capital Region Business Coalition to promote a strong local economy. The North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, Cal Chamber and the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce. Working together with our local chambers of commerce we are a solid force as advocates for business-friendly policies and helping businesses comply with complex laws and regulations. Working with our National, State and Regional Chambers, as well as with other chambers and business organization across our region, allows our Chamber to be a part of a broad-based network of thousands of businesses and organizations with clout and influence to advocate your best interests, and keep you informed in this ever changing regulatory environment.

Convening our local civic and business leadership, the Chamber hosts our annual Salute to Democracy reception each spring, which is our premier program with local elected’s and that advocacy program is complimented by our fall series of “Latte & Leaders” coffee’s with each of our local elected officials, hosted by member businesses.

The Chamber regularly educates and provide our members with resources from a broad spectrum of sources through our Sharepack mailings, through our website, and on our social media to keep our members and the greater business community informed on policy, regulation, and where to find help on these issues.

The Chamber focuses on policy, red tape cutting, politics and relationships with local elected officials, so our members can do what they do best – running their companies!
