The Sierra Vista Area Chamber is proud to represent the busi-

ness community.

Our goal is to provide programs and events that benefit our

members.

We could not do this without the support of the membership be-

yond their annual dues investment.

We hope many of our more than 600 members will take advan-

tage of the events, sponsorship and other marketing opportuni-

ties provided throughout the year.

We know that budgets are tight and that every marketing dollar

must count, which is why we offer opportunities to suit every

pocket—from just $100.

Why become a Chamber sponsor?

Because our events and programs receive a great deal of expo-

sure through the newspaper, radio stations, television, email

blasts, newsletter, website, social media and more.

Our events are often attended by high profile members of the

community, as well as a wide mix of business owners, manag-

ers and decision makers.

As one of this community’s leading organizations, the Chamber

offers a unique, affordable and effective way to help get your

message out to existing and potential customers.

For more information call the Chamber at (520) 458-6940.

The Sierra Vista Area Chamber provides year-round opportunities

for businesses to connect, promote and grow.
