Chamber Information

 

The Sidney Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture (SACCA) is an active part of our community.  In this section you will meet our members, the heart of our Chamber.  The Directory will introduce you to our members, who they are and what they do.  To show you what we do, the Committees section highlights the activities and advantages to working with the Chamber.  The staff of the Chamber consists of two paid employees: Laura Schieber, Executive Director and Brielle Larson, Administrative Assistant.  All of the work is not done by those two.  It is the Committees and volunteers that make the Chamber and Sidney as successful as they are.

Mission
To provide leadership by fostering a progressive economic environment in support and promotion
of the business and agriculture community.
