The organizations that invest in De Pere.
Our partners and sponsors make De Pere's events and programs possible — and reach the community while doing it. From presenting sponsors at signature events to civic institutions that shape the region, these are the names behind the chamber's work.
What partnership means here
131 years. One community. These are the names behind the work.
The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce has anchored De Pere's business community since 1895. Our partners and sponsors — presenting sponsors at signature events, Leadership Circle members, and civic institutions — are the organizations whose investment makes 25+ annual events, advocacy, and community programs possible. This page names them publicly, because recognition is the least we can do.

Why organizations invest
Sponsorship here is community presence — not advertising math.
Independent research by the Schapiro Group found that consumers are 80% more likely to purchase from a business they know is a chamber member. Presenting your name alongside a 131-year institution is a signal your audience reads — and remembers. That is what our partners are buying.
The De Pere Area Chamber has been crucial to the development of business — affording opportunities to not only network with other professionals, but to showcase my business and the services we offer.
