Business Caucus is your opportunity to voice your opinions on legislative and business related questions. Attendees will answer multiple choice questions online. All responses are tabulated instantly and displayed as percentages. Not only does this give the Chamber insights into member priorities but the results are shared with Legislators as the collective “voice of business.”
A positive business climate does not happen by chance. The work of the South Dakota Chamber provides statewide leadership on many issues but we cannot do this alone. Your involvement is needed.
