The Rochelle Area Chamber of Commerce and Business Development is an advocate for business and the means for commercial and retail development in Rochelle.  Since the merger between the Chamber and the Rochelle Regional Retail Alliance on May 1, 2009, the new Chamber has been creating partnerships throughout the City to initiate a climate of growth, opportunity, and success.  A healthy business community enhances quality of life by providing jobs, career opportunities and increased tax revenue for the schools and infrastructure enhancements.

The Chamber provides leadership opportunities, volunteer programs, and business-building initiatives that focus on the select priorities of our community.  By leveraging the support, talent, and resources of our members, the Rochelle Chamber connects business, political, and community leaders to each other.  Special relationships with local industries are creating environmentally-friendly programs and initiatives that will preserve our neighborhoods and foster greater eco-awareness. 

In an attempt to add value to being a Rochelle Chamber member, associations are being created with local insurance agencies to offer valuable vision and property insurance benefits.  Real savings are available to members-only for personal and business insurance coverage including homeowners, auto, recreational vehicles, farm, commercial property and general liability, workers compensation, etc. through programs established through Query Insurance Agency and Rochelle Insurance Agency & Investment Center.  A strategic alliance is also being formed with a national healthcare provider that may shortly allow us to offer to our members the opportunity to purchase critical healthcare premiums and benefits never before available through any Chamber in the United States.  Eligibility requirements for these programs are available by calling 815-562-4189.  Your role as a Chamber investor is to take advantage of these resources.   

Concurrently, the Rochelle Chamber of Commerce and Business Development is focused on business retention and expansion.  We are committed to promoting job growth and economic prosperity in the Greater Rochelle Area.  Through deliberate Chamber networking opportunities, business men and women, local government officials, educators, economic development professionals, and other interested citizens are working together for the benefit of new and existing business.

The strength of our Chamber lies in attracting the greatest number of members, creating a consortium of resources from which can come ideas, energy, and investments.  For more information on becoming a member, volunteer, or event sponsor, please call the Chamber today.  The Board of Directors, Table of Ten Action Committee, and Chamber Delegates are pleased to help you achieve your goals and professional dreams.
