Chamber Advocacy
The Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce serves as the voice of business at all levels of government. Through our advocacy efforts, we ensure that the interests of the business community are represented as public policy is formed.
Chamber staff attend Sioux Falls City Council, Minnehaha County Commission and Sioux Falls School Board meetings and events. We have a lobbyist in Pierre throughout the entire state legislative session each year. And we are in regular communication with South Dakota’s federal delegation in Washington, D.C.
