Business After Hours
One definition of “networking” is to “communicate with and within groups.”  We all know about networking and how it helps to improve our businesses and our business relationships.  BUT…do we really do it?

Well, here is your chance to truly network!  Your reorganized Rochelle Area Chamber of Commerce & Business Development is proud to announce the new and improved Business After Hours events.  These celebrations take place once a month on a Thursday evening.  You will be notified of each event via email from the chamber.

What a great way to advertise your business!  Shaking hands and getting to know people in your community on a personal basis is the best way to promote your business…Networking at its finest!

If your company is interested in participating in the Business After Hours program, please call the Chamber at 815-562-4189.  A committee is established to help you with the plans to make your event a success.

On an as needed basis, the Chamber will host a new member orientation one hour prior to a BAH event.
