Member Opportunity
Business to Business Opportunity Share
The Chamber is offering a new service to our members. We will facility the sharing of
training opportunities between companies in our area. Has your business ever
hosted a training and had additional space that was wasted because you had less than
a full house? Wouldn’t it have been great if you could have sold those empty seats to a
business that may have the same professional development needs as you? Opening up
those empty seats to another company is a win for both organizations.
If you have a training planned and can accommodate additional participants, contact
the Chamber with the specifics of the training and the per person cost.
We will communicate the opportunity that you created to all chamber members
without cost to you.
Business to business opportunity share. Give it a try.
Tourism Highlights
Sparta has earned Discover Wisconsin’s 2019 Choice Destination badge of honor! Such
an high level of accolade would not have been possible without our members, area
attractions and tourism-based businesses, and the dedicated work of the Sparta Area
Chamber of Commerce’s Tourism Council. After the flooding last summer closed the
Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail, we needed to be creative to continue attracting tourists.
While the traffic on the trails slowed considerably, thanks to our community events
and non-bike related attractions, we still managed a successful tourism season. Proof
that Sparta’s attraction is more than biking.
