We believe that the health of the business community and the health of the larger community in which it lays are inextricable. The Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce helps the business community thrive and prosper.

We are a CATALYST for business growth, a CONVENER of leaders and influencers, and a CHAMPION for a stronger Yuba-Sutter.We achieve this purpose through valuable business services, deep and relevant connections, business learning opportunities, and influence on economic and public policies.

​Being active in the local Chamber of Commerce is an effective business strategy. It communicates to consumers that a company uses good business practices, is reputable, cares about its consumers and is involved in its community. National research shows that:
  • ​When a small business is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they are 49% more likely to think favorably of it and 80% more likely to purchase goods or services from them.
  • If a company shows to be highly involved in its local chamber, consumers are 10% more likely to think that its products or services stack up better against its competition.
  • When a company is highly involved with their local Chamber of Commerce, the consumer infers that the company is trustworthy and cares about their customers.​
