The Rockford Chamber of Commerce has been a leader in our community for over 100 years. Over that time, we've helped many thousands of businesses grow and expand. We constantly advocate for investment in our community's quality of life.

The founding officers and members of the Chamber wanted the organization to be "a forceful working unit for the good of Rockford." As we move forward for the next 100 years, we remain committed to this important work.
