Referral Opportunities

The Chamber is Sarpy County’s authority on local business. We receive hundreds of requests for referrals for goods and service providers each year. In answering these requests, we refer only Chamber members.

Leadership Opportunities

Those who join Chamber committees play an important role in developing the Sarpy County business community and fostering future business growth. They are also able to meet and collaborate with other Chamber members, expanding their local network even further.

Legislative Opportunities

By voicing their opinions and working with other leaders, Chamber members stay informed of key legislative issues, local trends and other factors affecting businesses in our area. Our Legislative Affairs committee works on ways to leverage the voices of Chamber members to encourage business-friendly legislation and policies.
