Note from the President
D ear Members, We’re nearing the end of the year and the Chamber team will soon host the Economic Summit event on December 2nd at the Rochester International Event Center. This annual event is an excellent opportunity to share insight into the area business community and the challenges and opportunities they encountered through 2021 and for their forecast of the year ahead. Providing that perspective is made possible through our members involvement in the recent Business Outlook Survey that was distributed in early October. While the Rochester Chamber has presented surveys in the past, the Business Outlook Survey was developed with the intention of providing participants an opportunity to share insight and data from the past year and to provide their expectations for the year ahead. The goal is to be able to show historical data to provide a picture of trends and impacts to businesses in the region over time. In addition to the presentation of the survey results, the Economic Summit will also feature panel discussions highlighting industry, small business and entrepreneurship. These conversations are an excellent opportunity to showcase the challenges and opportunities impacting employers and business startups throughout the Rochester region. We look forward to providing a local perspective on the economy and will pair that with an entertaining look into the national and international economies, including how they impact the Rochester region, with our featured keynote speaker, Dr. Roger Tutterow, Professor of Economics, Director of Econometric Center, at Kennesaw University. More information is available on this year’s Economic Summit in this month’s issue of the Advantage. The Chamber team looks forward to this year’s event and encourage you to join us on December 2nd. Have a safe and fun start to the holiday season. Thank you for your support and involvement in the Rochester Chamber of Commerce.
