Sarpy Chamber Group Advocacy
(January Legislative Coffee Event)
Serving as an unwavering advocate to the business community in the fastest growing county in the state means the Sarpy Chamber needs to diversify resources to meet many different needs. Sarpy Chamber groups are instrumental in providing niche resources and the chamber is thrilled that events for these groups are back in full swing. Groups like Government Affairs, W.O.M.E.N., and B.U.Y.S. allow the chamber to focus space and resources on specific demographics which enables them to meet their unique goals. The Government Affairs group kicked off the new year with a return to Legislative Coffee events. Part of this chamber group’s mission is
to connect people with their elected officials. These events are free and open to the public and in January and February guests heard from Sarpy County state senators on their priorities in the legislative session and learned how those potentially impact their businesses. It was also an opportunity for people to learn about available financial resources for pandemic recovery. Bellevue University’s Military and Veteran Services Center hosted Senator John Arch, Senator Carol Blood, and Senator Rita Sanders on January 14th. Tiburon Golf Club hosted the February 18th event with Senator John Arch. The government affairs group is grateful to the hosts, representatives, and attendees who make it possible for these important conversations to take place. We Optimize Mentor Elevate Network are the words behind the Sarpy Chamber W.O.M.E.N. Group acronym and they’re at the heart of the group’s events. The group returned to regular in-person events on January 25th at Soaring Wings Vineyard. Guests heard from an Entrepreneur Panel featuring Dr. Kate Hansen with Essentials Natural Family Health, Kim Jones with ProCare
