Membership Advantages

"In considering if being a part of “tips group” is financially beneficial, it depends which Chamber you are talking about. The Sarpy County Chamber is the most effective and well run as I have experienced in 30 years of selling office furniture. It is very well connected to many facets and elements of  Sarpy county and run like a business…very efficiently, by several well qualified, hard charging people that I consider more than business partners…but friends! Because of those facts and a number of others, Sarpy draws very solid businesses to join them in their work. I have developed my largest and most prolific customers right out from the “belly” of our Fri morning tips group. From relationships that, over the years, have spawned confidence and a strong willingness to give references and business leads… that have helped grow my business substantially…all because of the atmosphere of “can do”, “make it happen”, and a solid business plan carried forward by the staff of the Sarpy County Chamber! I consider myself as part of their staff!
Increasing your business’s visibility is key to your success. Protecting your interests and ensuring the economic development of the local area are also vital parts of owning a business. The Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce is dedicated solely to the interests and needs of local business owners, and to fostering and protecting the business climate that encourages business growth."
