The Chamber is celebrating its 94th year as the premier advocacy organization for business in the Rogers-Lowell Area. Since 1922, we have worked to promote a healthy and vibrant economy while protecting and advancing the interests of our members and the community as a whole. We are the Voice of Business. In 2016, we pledge to continue working to build business through job creation and expansion, while also protecting business and representing our members’ interests at the local, state and federal levels. We’ll offer members hundreds of business-building events and educational programs throughout the year. We’ll continue to solve critical issues by working regionally. Take some time to learn more about your Chamber’s specific programs and goals for 2016 in this Business Plan issue of the Chamber Voice. Together, let’s build upon our successes from 2015 and continue to make the Rogers-Lowell Area a great place to live, work and play.
