Represented in SGMP's membership are employees of federal, state, county and city government, associations of governmental employees and government agencies, and suppliers (Hoteliers, CVB’s, CVA’s, Airlines, etc.). SGMP sought to create an opportunity to meet on common ground with the providers of meeting services and facilities to review the latest trends in planning and implementing these events. In recent years, the Sacramento Chapter has given back to our community by supporting local charity programs such as WEAVE, Ronald McDonald House and this year's local charity Wounded Warriors. We also give back to our members that work hard with and for the chapter by awarding scholarships to the Annual National Education Conference. We are a chapter of hard working volunteer members, and are one of the best resources for government meeting professionals in the state.
