Answers to common questions about the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce.

A chamber of commerce is a group of businesses that supports the interests of its members. The mission and goals of chambers vary, depending on the need and culture of the community in which they serve. Chambers are a 501(c)6 private membership organization.

Yes and no. The Chamber is not a regulatory agency and has no authority to step in legally. We can listen, however, and help connect you with resources to hopefully resolve your issue.

No. The Chamber is a 501(c)6 private nonprofit membership organization. We are governed by our own board of directors. The majority of our funding comes from membership investments, however, we do currently receive a portion of the One Cent and GPET funds from Sheridan County and the City of Sheridan.

No. Please contact the City of Sheridan at (307) 674-6483 or Sheridan County at (307) 674-2900 for these and other related issues.

Unfortunately we cannot do either. As a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization, we cannot sponsor events. The Chamber Bucks account is an “in and out” account so there is no extra funds in the account that could be donated. If you are a Chamber member, we would love to help you promote your event!

The Chamber hosts the annual Awards of Excellence, Ignite Conference, Boot Kick Off for the WYO Rodeo, Manufacturing Day/Month celebration, Christmas Stroll and Get Caught Shopping.

For contact information regarding the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, 3rd Thursdays, Farmers Markets and more, give us a call at (307) 672-2485, and we can direct you those event coordinators.
