Being new to the area I felt like Metro Chamber helped make such a big region feel like home. The introductions alone have made the joining fee worthy of the price. I am still surprised at how well they bring such a large community together to do business across the Sacramento area.

Sac State is a member of the Metro Chamber because of what they do for businesses, big or small. The university is only as strong as the business community is strong and vice versa.
