Vegas Chamber

What Vegas Chamber does

Vegas Chamber (legally Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce) is a nonprofit chamber of commerce founded in 1911 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and operates as the self-described largest business support organization in the state. The organization serves Southern Nevada businesses through a tiered membership model (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and President's Club) that provides networking, advocacy, marketing exposure, and cost-saving benefits. It runs more than 100 events annually, including six signature events such as Preview Las Vegas (over 1,000 attendees, 100 booths), Business Expo, D.C. Fly-In, and Business of the Year Awards, and publishes Chamber Magazine distributed to 9,000 business professionals with a claimed readership of 520,000+ and 1 million+ annual website visits.

The Chamber monetizes through four primary revenue streams: tiered annual membership dues (subscription), event and program sponsorships (advertising), media advertising across Chamber Magazine, Chamber TV, newsletter, and website (advertising), and member-exclusive benefits including an Anthem group health plan for 2-50 employee groups and a 401(k) plan administered by Caldera Wealth. Distribution is direct via a member development team, with named business development executives (Art Goldberg) and a Sr. Director of Member & Revenue (Deborah Makiri). The advocacy arm is a meaningful competitive asset: the Chamber tracked 822 bills and testified on 172 during the 2023 Nevada legislative session, identifies roughly 60 bills per session as harmful to economic prosperity, and operates a bipartisan PAC (BizPAC) with an 87% candidate-election success rate since 2007.

Recent strategic activity has centered on small business support: the Chamber launched a Small Business Resource Center in November 2025 as a one-stop shop for entrepreneurs, secured Nevada State Bank as its inaugural sponsor, formalized a regional workforce partnership with the Southern Nevada Regional Partnership, and announced relocation of its headquarters to Civic Plaza at Symphony Park. The organization is led by President & CEO Mary Beth Sewald and governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Tyler Corder (2026 Chairman, COO/CFO of Findlay Automotive Group), with board composition drawn heavily from major Las Vegas employers in banking, gaming, healthcare, legal, and media sectors.
