The Chamber and our Diplomats will gladly help you celebrate your new business, new location or new ownership within our community.

HOME & BUSINESS EXPO
The Chamber’s Home & Business Expo, held in the fall, is the largest of its kind in Cochise County. More than 100 exhibitors and more than 4,000 people network at this event.

COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES
These groups are involved in a variety of areas, including Military Affairs, Business Issues, Legislative Affairs, Member Services, Leadership Sierra Vista, Women In Business and Diplomats. These committees offer the opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with other business and community leaders.

There is no more effective way to get your firm’s name before the public and business community. Here’s how:

SIERRA VISTA MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
All members receive two free listings, alphabetical and categorical, in this annual Membership Directory. Members also receive equivalent listings on the Chamber website, www.sierravistachamber.org.

MEMBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
All member investors are entitled to a free website, which the Chamber will host on its server. With the enhanced modules, members will be able to track webpage traffic through monthly emails and build personalized online catalogs. This is the perfect resource to market and grow your business.

“SHOP LOCAL”
The Chamber offers members a variety of ways to support local businesses, which include the Home & Business Expo, a Chamber gift certificate program, Member to Member discounts and an online catalog service.

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES
There are a number of ways in which you can increase your exposure, including free display space in our lobby, paid advertising on the Chamber of Commerce website, the Vista, Monthly Mailer, Annual Map and Membership Directory. Another benefit is Chamber mailing labels available for purchase that give you direct access to business prospects.

NEWSLETTER PUBLICITY
The monthly Chamber Vista newsletter recognizes your firm upon joining the Chamber. We also offer free publicity to members announcing new products, services, promotions and advancements.

REFERRALS
The Chamber receives thousands of requests each year for recommendations on goods and services. We refer ONLY Chamber members to these newcomers, visitors and area residents.

CREDIBILITY
Your Greater Sierra Vista Area Chamber of Commerce plaque on your wall tells everyone you “mean business.”

The Chamber tracks local, state and federal issues that affect our members. Our job is to advocate the business viewpoint to all levels of government so that public policy decisions lead to a healthy business climate and better quality of life.

Our Chamber’s membership and active participation with the U.S. and Arizona Chambers of Commerce buys you the information and lobbying strength of both of these powerful pro-business organizations. Regionally, we represent you on many groups dealing with water issues and workforce development.

Through Chamber publications and candidate forums, we keep you informed. We also work at ensuring that our elected officials understand the concerns of the business community.

While we endeavor to provide the highest quality service to our members and the community, we also feel that members should get something more tangible out of their investment. We provide a State Fund Association Safety Plan, discounted insurance and other benefits.

MEMBER BRIEFINGS
Our Annual Membership Meeting and New Member Welcome events leave attendees with a much deeper understanding of the benefits of membership and how to increase membership value through active participation.

BUSINESS RESOURCES
The Chamber’s purpose is to advocate for the business community. The Greater Sierra Vista Area Chamber of Commerce is also concerned about the well-being of the entire community. This is why we have such programs as Leadership Sierra Vista, Military Affairs, Voter Information and the annual Holiday Parade.
