Update Newsletter
SPRINGING FORWARD TO BRING BUSINESS TOGETHER With Spring upon us and the rollout of the COVID vaccine now being available to all ages 16+, our Chamber looks forward to bringing businesses back together in-person later this year. As we share in the hope of returning to some normalcy, plans are underway to carefully present business after hours networking events, breakfast forums, our Annual Meeting, Chamber Raffle Bash, Annual Dinner & Awards Banquet, Golf Tournament and Holiday events in the latter part of 2021. Some of the changes that have been made by businesses will likely remain. Thanks to the technology we have learned and adapted to in the past year, some of our events may offer a hybrid element to them to allow us all to connect safely. Our committee meetings continue to remain remote for the time being and may continue to offer the same hybrid approach. As always, we welcome your input moving ahead.
Our Mission: Advance and promote the prosperity of its members and enhance the quality of life in the greater Rochester area.
INSIDE THIS ISSUE BENEFIT INFORMATION EVENTS UPDATE MEMBERSHIP UPDATE COMMITTEE NEWS MEMBER NEWS WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING CHAMBER LEADERSHIP CHAMBER CALENDAR
Our Chamber is very grateful to have had the ongoing support of our fantastic members throughout the pandemic so that we could maintain staff, offer programs remotely, provide members with information on relief programs and resources to help you, and allow businesses to connect. It has been a long road for all of us and it is not over yet. The support that has been provided has helped the organization be resilient and allow us to come out of the pandemic healthy and strong. There are many relief programs still available to businesses and some may be extended. The PPP loans were just extended until May 31, 2021 (see inside). Should you need information on what resources are available to you, please do not hesitate to reach out. The resiliency of our members is what matters to us.
