THANK YOU The Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce is grateful to serve the business community of the Rochester region, with its diverse industries, talented workforce, community partners, and a high quality of life. Thank you to our members for your ongoing support and engagement! Your membership is greatly appreciated. 2022 was a year of evolution for the organization and the Chamber team is excited to serve Rochester area businesses, organizations, and professionals as we progress. “An important accomplishment for the Chamber in 2022 was the creation of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. Over several months with the assistance of a consultant, the Chamber Board of Directors created a plan to guide us for the next three years. This road map is critical for the organization and will be our true North Star as we move forward in the coming years,” said John Eckerman, Business Developer with RSP Architects and Chair of the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. “The strategic plan is an important step for the organization and provides us with clear goals and objectives in the areas of advocacy, workforce, member engagement, and more. The strategic plan will be a valuable resource for the Chamber beginning in 2023 and leading us through 2026,” Parsons says.
Chamber Team
“This guide helps to layout and detail the sponsorships that are available to all members to participate in and the enhanced organization of opportunities has been well-recieved.” Being a sponsor for Chamber events is a great way for companies to gain brand recognition, connect with fellow professionals and more opportunities that can benefit organizations and businesses. The CRC is also effective in ensuring members know how to best engage their teams in various programs and events throughout the year. Beginning in the early fall of 2022 the Chamber began the development of a new strategic plan to provide a comprehensive plan for the organization moving forward. As part of the Chamber’s strategic plan initiative, the Chamber engaged in conversations with key constituents including members, the Chamber Board, city and county leadership, Rochester Public Schools, and area partner organizations. This process was valuable in gathering insight into the priorities impacting employers and to crafting a strategic plan that will guide the Chamber’s evolution in the years ahead to positively impact the business community of the Rochester region.
