AS THE REGION'S LEADING VOICE FOR BUSINESS, the Sacramento Metro Chamber's executive staff and volunteer leadership will often give or support speeches, comments or testimonies or write letters for and during such occasions as community events and public hearings. This is just one mechanism by which we service the community, as well as advocate for causes which are of highest priority for our membership and the region at large. Below are just a few scripts from these efforts.

If you would like to request a Metro Chamber speaker at one of your upcoming community events or public hearings, please contact our Community Development Division.
