Local Business Ribbon Cuttings
Are you a new business in town and a new Chamber member? Have you expanded your company or added a new location? Host a Chamber ribbon cutting to welcome the Rockford community to your business.

Bring friends, customers, clients, and the media to your new location on this special day. For information on hosting a ribbon cutting, call Kristin Muehlfelder at 815-316-4315.
In addition to events, the benefits of joining the Rockford Chamber of Commerce include wider business exposure through chamber publications, the opportunity to have a voice in advocating for community issues that affect your business, and improved consumer perception.
