NETWORKING

Business Networking
The SHCC knows how important it is for members to meet new potential business contacts. That’s why we’ve organized a series of mixers and events to help you get connected.

Alliance Mixer
While it’s not likely you’ve met every member in the SHCC, our Alliance Mixers are a great way to expand your network by meeting members in the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce and the Black Chamber of Commerce. This exciting event is an opportunity to meet and mingle, while learning about keys to business success from one of our featured sponsors.

Business Networking Mixer
One of the SHCC’s more popular events, our Business Networking Mixers are meant to help you meet new contacts and cultivate relationships with people you’ve met at previous events. This event is also open to non-members, so bring your business colleagues for drinks and appetizers.

Business Networking Expo/Mixer
If you’re looking for a chance to show off your services or products, the Business Networking Expo and Mixer is set up for you to show-off.  Promising major exposure opportunities and a chance to meet the best-of-the-best in Sacramento, you don’t want to miss this event.

Joe Serna, Jr. Scholarship
The SHCC provides support, mentoring and scholarships for Sacramento youth. Over the years, we have awarded over $400,000 in scholarships. That amount and the number of scholarships continue to increase due to generous contributions from local corporations, foundations, business owners and individuals.
 
This year's Scholarship Program Dinner, held on May 30, was an overwhelming success. The SHCC awarded scholarships totaling $54,500 to 53 deserving students in the Sacramento area.

Lunch and Learns
Looking for ways to immediately increase your business?  The SHCC hosts these informative two hour sessions that teach you how to gain access to contracts you may have not known existed.  Learn how the bid and proposal process works from procurement specialists from SMUD and the City of Sacramento and hear about upcoming opportunities your business can capitalize on.

New Member Orientation
We have so many great networking events and forums each month that it’s easy to feel a little lost. Our New Member Orientation is a great place for members to learn about various opportunities within the chamber. We provide details on the most effective ways to get connected so even if you’re not a “new” member, consider attending!  

Small Business Forum
Going so fast you don’t ever make time for important things like a marketing plan or hiring a lawyer? We’ve all been there. At the SHCC’s FREE Small Business Forums we cover important topics that are key to overtaking your competition. From accounting practices, legal issues, buying new technology and creating a business plan—we teach you all you need to know.

Spanish Business Networking Mixer
Speak Spanish? The Spanish Speaking Networking Mixer is a great way to meet with other Spanish speaking businesses from around the Sacramento area. As with all of our networking events, appetizers and drinks are provided.

Spanish Speaking Workshop
Our Spanish Speaking Workshops are a chance to learn from local experts who prepare seasoned business advice and assistance on topics our members have requested. Keep your eyes open for new topics and companies each time.
