AS THE LARGEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS organization in the Sacramento region, the Metro Chamber champions positions on a range of issues from small business and regulatory affairs to transportation, workforce development and flood protection.

The Metro Chamber believes that issues impacting our economy and quality of life are regional in nature, crossing political and jurisdictional boundaries. That is why we encourage a cooperative approach to address and solve important issues. Regional cooperation gives business and civic leaders as a competitive advantage, enabling our region to more effectively compete with other regions across California and the nation for increasingly scarce State and federal resources.

An extensive series of Metro Chamber programs and events serve to inform, influence and promote our policy priorities each year including the annual Capitol-to-Capitol lobbying trip to Washington D.C.
