What Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce does

The Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit 501(c)(6) membership organization founded in 1952, serving the Elk Grove, California business community.

The Chamber's technology platform is delivered through a third-party vendor (Chamber Nation) and centers on a Community Publishing System that includes the Community Clicker mobile app, Member Dashboard, Business Catalog/eCommerce Portal, digital kiosks, and member reviews. The organization operates from a single office at 8820 Elk Grove Blvd inside the CSD Lobby, serving Elk Grove and Sacramento County.
