Why Join the Chamber

“I recommend joining the Rockford Chamber of Commerce for a couple of reasons. First, if you are new to the community, either as a business or an individual, it gives you a chance to meet members of the community and other business leaders. Second, attending the Chamber meetings give you a chance to find out what is happening within the community and it enables you to have a voice regarding the issues that could affect you.”
