SETTLE:
a great place to… HANG YOUR HAT
YOU ARE HERE! In the early 1800s, travelers going between Chicago and Galena dubbed this stopover halfway into the journey “Midway.” The settlement quickly became known as Rockford because of a shallow ford across the Rock River just south of the city’s current downtown. A journey that took days via horse and buggy over rough roads is a mere jaunt of 77 miles southeast via I-90 to Chicago and 78 miles northwest along Illinois Rt. 20 to Galena. Today, Rockford serves as the center of a thriving regional economy that boasts 800,000 people within a 45-mile radius. A modern city that leans toward the future, Rockford simultaneously honors its historic roots of diversity and innovation. Our city offers big-city benefits in terms of employment, shopping and culture with the scenic beauty, friendliness and convenience of a small town.

The Wisconsin Constitutional Convention of 1847-48 recognized its existing southern boundaries, and Winnebago County, encapsulating the Rockford Region, remained a part of Illinois. 6

CITY LIMITS AND BEYOND Rockford is linked by highway to Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee and Dubuque. The city’s highly accessible location in the Midwest works to our advantage in attracting jobs in the logistics and transportation industries. Interstate 90 - The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway links the Rockford area both to Madison and the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I-90 also links the city with Milwaukee, as the junction with I-43 is just two miles north of the Wisconsin state line. The tollway was partially responsible for the city’s rapid growth eastward between the late 1960s and the late 1990s. U.S. Route 20 - U.S. Route 20 takes two routes in Rockford – one bypassing the city to the south and the other running straight through the city. The original highway is now an east-west business route, aka State Street, that divides the city to the north and south. In 1965, a U.S. 20 bypass was completed around the city’s southern perimeter. It joins the Northwest Tollway (I-90) near Cherry Valley. Bypass 20 joins West State Street beyond Rockford’s city limits near the village of Winnebago and continues westward to Freeport, Galena and Dubuque. To the east, U.S. 20 is a divided highway paralleling I-90, providing an alternate route to Belvidere, Garden Prairie and Union. Interstate 39 and U.S. Route 51 - Starting from the U.S. 20 bypass near Cherry Valley, I-39 directly links Rockford to Bloomington/ Normal. I-39 serves as a replacement for U.S. 51 to the south of the city. From the north, the interstate highway allows travelers better access to the southern suburbs of Chicago via Interstates 80 and 88. From the south, it provides easier access to Rockford and Wisconsin destinations by allowing drivers to bypass the city of Chicago. U.S. Route 51 overlaps I-39 through the Rockford Area. Other Roads/Highways - Illinois Route 2 (South/North Main Street); Illinois Route 70 (Kilburn Avenue); Illinois Route 251 (North Second Street, Kishwaukee Street, Harrison Avenue, 11th Street). The Veterans Memorial Beltway consists of four-lane roads that create a continuous outer loop around the city. Roads that connect to form the beltway are: Perryville Road, Harrison Avenue, Springfield Avenue and Riverside Boulevard.
A STONE’S THROW AWAY… While Rockford remains the regional hub for employment and commerce, it is surrounded by vibrant small cities and towns, each with its own unique appeal. From the heart of Rockford, follow your compass: • • • •

Rockford has many distinct neighborhoods, and, while different, they share a warm, welcoming flavor that makes them easy places to call home. Some neighborhoods, particularly those near downtown, still reflect the architectural styles and personal preferences of the city’s earliest residents. Rockford boasts dozens of homes and other structures that exemplify various Victorian styles, including Gothic, Queen Anne and Italianate. In recent decades, Rockford residents have renovated numerous historic buildings, signaling an appreciation for the city’s history and traditions.
HERITAGE MUSEUM PARK – ethnicheritagemuseum.org Local history lives on in two quaint homes built on South Main Street in the 1850s. The Ethnic Heritage Museum features six galleries devoted to the primary immigrant groups that settled in southwest Rockford -- African-American, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Lithuanian and Polish. Adjacent to the museum site is the Graham Ginestra Home, a Greek Revival, Italianate architectural style building that is on the National Register of Historic Places in Winnebago County. The house represents the homestead of two prominent families who started successful businesses in Rockford: Freeman Graham, Sr. and Leo Ginestra. Through displays of early Rockford area maps, everyday artifacts, vintage clothing and more, visitors of all ages can learn about Old World customs and traditions by touring these two homes. Historical photographs tell the stories of the earliest settlers who established factories near the old “waterpower district” and built their homes nearby.
ERLANDER HOME MUSEUM – swedishhistorical.org Beginning in 1852, and peaking around the 1880’s, Swedish immigrants came to Rockford by the thousands to seek their fortune. They were part of the mass migration that eventually brought 60 million people to the United States. The Swedish Historical Society of Rockford owns and operates the John Erlander Home Museum to preserve and highlight the city’s Swedish-American history and culture.

WORK:
a great place to… EARN. GROW. INNOVATE.
Settled on the banks of the Rock River in the 1830s, Rockford was uniquely positioned from the beginning for innovation and industrial development. The region’s rise in manufacturing of agricultural machinery began with John Henry Manny, who started making wheat reapers in Rockford in 1854. Early industrialists and inventors obtained hundreds of patents for their inventions, a tradition that continues today. By the end of the 19th Century, Rockford had made its name for manufacturing heavy machinery and tools, and it was the nation’s second-leading center of furniture manufacturing. Rockford, like other Rust Belt cities, struggled during the second half of the 20th Century, but the city experienced a resurgence in the late 1990s that continues today due to economic diversification. Notably, the city has benefited from growth in the automotive, aerospace and healthcare industries, as well as tourism and downtown revitalization.

The bar features an extensive selection of beer, wine, and spirits. “When coming to play with friends and family, we really felt the food and drinks should complement the activity and atmosphere,” said Schoenhard.

ANDERSON JAPANESE GARDENS (1) - andersongardens.org With the ongoing assistance of renowned Master Craftsman and designer Hoichi Kurisu, the Andersons’ swampy backyard along Rockford’s Spring Creek was transformed into a Japanese-style landscape.

It now exists as a not-for-profit entity and continues to grow and change to this day.

105
Dear Valued Chamber Members, This is the time of year we reflect on our many achievements in 2020 and anticipate the challenges and milestones to come in 2021. Looking back on last year (do we have to?), we can say with certainty that it was a year unlike no other. Let’s leave it as just that! I want to personally thank you for your membership and your dedication to our business community. You help create a positive outlook during a very challenging time and our region is better off for it as we move forward. Please enjoy the highlights included in this yearbook as a reminder that we work hard to continue to serve you and the community! Greater Rockford Growth Partnership (RAEDC/Chamber Unification) - For two years, members of the boards of the Rockford Area Economic Development Council (RAEDC) and the Rockford Chamber of Commerce (Rockford Chamber) have worked to unify their organizations under the same roof with a common voice for business in the region. Board members of both organizations joined forces to develop values and goals for the new “umbrella” partnership under which the RAEDC and Chamber will retain their individual organizational status. The Greater Rockford Growth Partnership will align the organizations toward the goal of making the Rockford region the number one mid-sized market in the nation for a strong workforce, innovative companies, business start-ups and leadership development. Leadership Development - The Rockford Chamber has gone “all in” to honor great leaders in this region, as well as to develop and host programs that continue to build and promote future leaders. We recognize community needs will only intensify during the next decade, so it’s up to us to be a change instigator rather than just a resource to help people cope with change. To better align these goals, we established the Center for Leadership Development to create new programs and strategically organize existing, successful programs to maximize their impact. Pro-Business Development - Commitment to public policy and political action that is good for business continues to rank among our top priorities. The Rockford Chamber is 1,200 members strong, representing a workforce of 60,000+ individuals. Our government affairs activities link the needs of businesses directly to our public policy-makers. Recently we were pleased to see eight taxing bodies join together to keep their property tax levies flat for 2020, lessening the burden for our citizens and businesses. Small Business Development - Small businesses are the core of a strong local economy, and business growth is a key reason why we have a Chamber. The Chamber is celebrating nearly three successful years since the launch of the Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in 2017. The SBDC is a busy hub of activity exceeding all of its annual goals of helping many businesses start up, advance or grow. During the pandemic, the SBDC became even more vital in helping support existing small businesses weather significant challenges. Workforce Development - Enhancing the local workforce is a critical cog in the wheel of economic growth. The Rockford Chamber has collaborated with partner agencies to develop a stronger talent pipeline addressing core workforce weaknesses (soft skills) and demands of leading, specific local industries (engineering, aerospace, machining and health care). The Rockford Chamber hosts its own online Job Bank, a self-service tool our members can use to fill vacancies and search for jobs. In 2021, we are pleased to offer a modified calendar of events, educational programs, publications, and services centered on our members’ priorities to advance business and professional development, advocate for a pro-business environment, and cultivate connections. To support our members, we will adapt our events as in-person gatherings start to open up. As a Chamber, we look forward to continuing to serve you – our members – and our community. Find us at rockfordchamber.com or 815-987-8100 for questions or to get involved in any of these key initiatives. Follow us on social media and check out more news in The VOICE each month.
Sincerely,
Dan Ross Board Chairman

CELEBRATING 110 YEARS Organizations Unified in Service to this Community It’s hard to imagine that all of this started 110 years ago, on a luncheon cruise on a paddlewheel steamer on the Rock River. Several hundred Rockford businessmen with a vision signed, or witnessed the signing of, a declaration establishing the Rockford Area Chamber of Commerce as “a forceful working unit for the good of Rockford.” Even more remarkable is the 11 that have remained, through economic downturns, bull markets, and social and technological change, and have continued to strive to be “a forceful working unit for the good of Rockford.” Once again, we gratefully thank them for their service to the people of this community.
As the first truly modern media company, AT&T has been changing the way people live, work and play for the past 144 years. We create connection — with each other, with what people need to thrive in their everyday lives and with the stories and experiences that matter.
DESIGN. BUILD. INSTALL. SERVICE. We have been manufacturing our extensive line of quality coolant filtration products at our original facility in Downtown Rockford, Illinois, since 1907. Our machine tool coolant filtration product offerings include filters for grinding and metal cutting machines, along with pressure and vacuum filtration systems that offer both permanent and disposable media filtration systems as small as 10 GPM as large as 20,000 GPM to 5 micron are well within our scope.

J.L. Clark is dedicated to the principles John Lewis Clark held in 1904 when he turned the small tin smithing operation in his hardware store into a full-time manufacturing operation. He was driven to produce decorated packaging for a variety of common household items, while providing exceptional customer service, and also remaining a committed and responsible member of the Rockford community. J.L. Clark carries on his legacy of manufacturing exceptional decorated metal and plastic packaging products on Rockford’s south side.
The Rockford Register Star traces its roots to 1855, when the first of its predecessor newspapers opened for business. Since 1930, the Register Star has occupied the iconic News Tower on the Rock River in downtown Rockford.
Built in 1963, the Blanche Walker Burpee Student Center is the most recognized facility on the Rockford University campus. It was originally intended to function as the student center and hub of campus life and activities. Starting in the early 1980s, the building went through a series of reconfigurations in order to house various administrative departments. Now, the center provides state-of-the-art amenities that identify the space as the heart of campus and the intersection of activity for students and visitors. The facility also houses many key functions including the student den and dining hall, President and Student Life offices, University bookstore, Esports arena, student lounge and study space, and Regents Hall.

Partnerships The Rockford Chamber participated in the confluence concept, collaborating with organizations across the community
Unification
THE GREATER ROCKFORD GROWTH PARTNERSHIP — that’s the name of a new organization that has long-term implications for the future success of our region. For two years, members of the boards of the Rockford Area Economic Development Council (RAEDC) and the Rockford Chamber of Commerce (Rockford Chamber) have worked to unify their organizations under the same roof with a common voice for business in the region. As a new organization, The Greater Rockford Growth Partnership will work with the RAEDC and Rockford Chamber to ensure strategies, goals and decisions work best for both organizations and for the region as a whole. The organization will make sure both large and small businesses benefit and will actively coordinate with other regional groups and the public sector to support and grow businesses in Northern Illinois.
Small Business Development Center
The Illinois Small Business Development Center at the Rockford Chamber of Commerce offers services free of charge to aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners – chamber members and nonmembers – in the Rockford area. As a partnership between the Chamber, the Small Business Administration and the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity, the center operates out of the NIU EIGERlab, 8500 E. State. St., and maintains an office at the Chamber’s downtown location. For questions, call 815-987-8100. The SBDC has worked with a large number of clients this year due to the Coronavirus, and, also due to the significant number of people still planning to start or grow their own business. Fifty-three percent of our clients are woman-owned businesses, and fifty-three percent are minority-owned businesses.
Manufacturing DaySM
Held annually on the first Friday in October nationwide, MFG Day (Manufacturing Day) encourages thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers and community leaders to show the reality of modern manufacturing careers. This year, due to COVID tours were held virtually. Thanks to Career Education Associates of North Central Illinois (CEANCI) for their continued partnership on this event. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, along with manufacturing industry leaders, announced the proclamation of October as Manufacturing Month in Illinois. The proclamation recognizes that since COVID-19 hit, manufacturers have played an increasingly important role in protecting and powering Illinois communities, with an estimated more 1,000 Illinois manufacturers and distributors shifting operations to manufacture and deploy the life-saving personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary to fight the pandemic. The proclamation noted the struggle manufacturers have had to continuously fill more than 25,000 ongoing vacancies in high-paying production and engineering careers. Over the next eight years, it is estimated that 4.6 million new manufacturing jobs will need to be filled nationwide. Manufacturing is the number one contributor to Illinois’ economy; with roughly 18,000 companies employing more than 550,000 Illinoisans and producing $108 billion in total output. 112

Advocacy The Rockford Chamber supports issues that contribute to strengthening the overall business climate
Government Affairs Council The Government Affairs Council met in-person at Stockholm Inn or virtually on Zoom in 2020 to discuss public policy issues to present a collective and powerful business perspective to elected officials. Our Government Affairs Council remained central to advocating for a strong and healthy business environment through influencing legislative, economic and social policy. Some 2020 highlights included:
• Rockford Area Realtors CEO Conor Brown reviewed current market conditions in the Rockford region as well as discussed priorities and initiatives of RAR.
• Hearing from several speakers including: the two Republican candidates for States Attorney for Winnebago County, David Gill and Joseph “J” Hanley along with a follow up in the fall from Democrat Paul Carpenter and Republican Joseph Hanley on their qualifications, vision, and priorities for this important office. We also heard from 69th District State Representative Joe Sosnowski on his activities and priorities, including his thoughts on property tax relief, and the proposed graduated income tax amendment.
• The Rockford Chamber of Commerce also hosted a conference call with a federal update for our members with Congressman Adam Kinzinger. This call provided the opportunity for Congressman Kinzinger to give a DC update and included information on a relief package discussed by Congress to address the COVID-19 pandemic. It included a Q & A portion for our members to ask questions.
• Post-election, Dr. Ron Lee, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rockford University, provided his perspective on all things from the election.
In 2021, with the many newly elected leaders in our region, we have a great opportunity to be part of the “master plan” for Rockford and the region. Your voice as part of Government Affairs is critical! Please reach out to the Rockford Chamber if you are interested in joining in 2021 and having an active voice! As a member of the council, you join other influential, action-oriented Chamber members in providing a collective and powerful business perspective to our elected officials.
Government Affairs Council Chairs past and present: (left to right) Ryan Brauns – Rockford Brokerage and Consulting; Andy Benson – Benson Stone; and Don Daniels – SwedishAmerican – A Division of UW Health.

IGNITE hosts events and opportunities to attract, engage and retain young professionals to the Rockford Region. EDUCATE (professional development)
INVOLVE, REACH, EDUCATE IGNITE’s three committees work together to create the best opportunities for our members in the areas of personal and professional development, service, and connection to the community.
INVOLVE (volunteer) Our INVOLVE team focuses on creating awareness of local service opportunities for our members and hosts non-profit drives at our After 5s every other month. In 2020, we increased our volunteer opportunities on our website, increased our outreach to non-profits, and added non-profit wish lists to our website. We hope to resume our drives in 2021.
REACH (social) REACH consistently offers our members personal networking opportunities at various restaurants throughout the community through our monthly After 5s. In 2020, our After 5s were shifted to a virtual platform. We had a get-to-know-you event in the spring, and a mixology night over the winter.
Our EDUCATE team has always organized our popular monthly Lunch with a Leader event! Inviting local CEO’s and leaders to come sit down for a casual lunch with young professionals allows for an intimate setting where connections are created and personalized questions can be asked. This year, we switched the event format to virtual via Facebook Live and Zoom. The leaders who shared their own leadership journey with us were Michele Petrie, State Representative Maurice West, Sam Miller, Paul Logli, Melissa Pratt, David Sidney, Carly LaMonica, Dr. Lisa M. Bly-Jones, and Danielle Angileri. Our EDUCATE team also resumed our Adulting 101 series. This series focuses on topics that young professionals feel are necessary to the adulting world. In May, we focused on financial resources during COVID, the real estate market during COVID, and stocks during COVID. In July, we discussed mental health in young adults during the pandemic and tips to improve mental health. A special thanks to our 2020 Leadership Team: President- Greg Lundquist; Vice President- Kira Devin; Coordinator- Carmen Brenz; Marketing Director- Danica Keeton; INVOLVE Co-Chairs- Hannah Schoenberg and Kaleb Price; REACH Co-Chair- Vicky Rhine; EDUCATE Co-Chairs- Matthew Brandt and Bobby Reitsch and our IGNITE sponsor, Wintrust.
IGNITE began a book club during the pandemic. Each month the participants were able to read a book and then discuss the book with other young professionals via Zoom. Some of the books covered were: I am Malala, Born a Crime, Unbroken, Becoming and Nomadland. Membership is open to any young professional who lives, works, learns or plays in the Rockford Region Visit igniterockford.com to learn more or to join! ...plus Yearbook

2020 Events & Awards Each year, the Rockford Chamber provides a robust calendar of opportunities and events for members to build networks, grow business and engage in the community. 2020 was an exception as we had to pivot and learn how to deal with COVID-19. What we did accomplish includes the following events, either in person or virtual.
Annual Dinner Architect Gary Anderson has left an indelible mark on the Rockford region in ways too many to count. Described as a passionate leader, activist and volunteer, Anderson has worked tirelessly to improve the community. In 1982, Anderson returned to Rockford after college and opened an architecture firm. For his efforts, the founder of Gary W. Anderson Architects, was named the 2020 Citizen of the Year at the Rockford Chamber of Commerce annual dinner. The Citizen of the Year Award was sponsored by Woodward. The annual dinner, presented by OSF HealthCare, was held January 23 at Giovanni’s where nearly 800 business and community leaders turned out for this event. The keynote speaker was Hannah Ubl, an author and strategist who delivered a motivating message about “Helping Organizations Create a Workplace That Doesn’t Suck.” Ubl is co-founder of Good Company Consulting, based in Minneapolis. Poor communication in the workplace is both expensive and frustrating, said Ubl. “Everyone is looking at ways they can attract and retain people in their workplace,” Forsman said. “Her story about people who go to work and don’t bond with the employer and ghost it, is very common. Overall, the event was very positive and powerful and I thought the evening dovetailed nicely with Hannah and her remarks.”

The event featured keynote speaker, Futurist Simon J.

Ingersoll Machine Tools was the 2020 Manufacturer of the Year award. Ingersoll Machine Tools has been a Rockford mainstay for more than 125 years. After reorganizing in 2003, the company developed a mission to be a technology leader serving the aerospace and defense industries. Fast forward to today, and that mission still remains intact, although they have expanded to serve multiple industries, beyond aerospace and defense. Bethany Mead of CEANCI was named the Individual Business Catalyst of the Year. She is a success-driven individual who utilizes her people skills to engage students in work-based learning opportunities that connect them with regional businesses.

Community Priority Series: Presented by BMO Harris Bank, the Community Priority Series spotlighted the Chamber’s commitment to build leaders, workforce, community, networks and business. These events provided our members with a unique look at different facets of our local community that are critical to business development, growth and success. This year was unique with the virtual experience of the Hopin Platform. To view the video of any of these events, visit rockfordchamber.com.
Heartbeat of Healthcare This year’s Heartbeat of Healthcare on September 3, was the Chamber’s first major event to transition to a virtual format. Attendees were able to do networking one-on-one, in group settings, and visit sponsor’s virtual expo booths. In a timely presentation, Jessica Dawson, a Learning & Development Consultant at Gallup made the business case for well-being. Gallup & Healthways define well-being as a life well-lived or as all of the things that are important to each of us, what we think about and how we experience our lives. From decades of global research, Gallup uncovered five elements of well-being – purpose, social, financial, community and physical – and identified individuals as thriving, struggling or suffering in each element. Dawson helped attendees understand the substantial business outcomes of increasing well-being.
Mayor’s Business Address On October 15, Mayor McNamara was given a chance to share a “30,000 foot” synopsis as to what is going on in our community since November of 2019, which was the last time he addressed the business community. The Mayor started talking about the “good days” pre-COVID-19. “We had the lowest unemployment in the City of Rockford since it’s been measured. We also had a 25% decrease in violent crime. And, we also did not have a homicide from October to March.” The Mayor also focused on the stable or reduced property tax rate and reminded the audience that what this community is facing is going on in all major metropolitan areas across the country. This includes the global pandemic, civil unrest, civic engagement and a dramatic increase in violent crime. The Mayor also shared his perspective of how we, as a community, have dealt with these issues and how it will make us stronger over the long haul. “I think when you look at this year and what it has shown about our community, it has revealed tremendous strength, tremendous grace.” He specifically cited the business community and how they have adapted and responded during this time. The Mayor also mentioned that the civil unrest we’ve experienced now provides us the opportunity to lasso that long-sought engagement from the community; continue to encourage that communication, and to move our region forward. President Forsman then went into the “tough stuff” currently being experienced: crime and violence, the growing homicide rate, pandemic response, protest groups, and city budget issues. Looking forward, the Mayor was asked to comment on the goals and priorities for the community, including public safety and economic development. He ended with: “Let’s rebuild — let’s make our community, our business community, our education community, our government community — be the community we want.” 124

Education Outlook Luncheon “It’s been a wild couple of years for Rockford Public Schools,” opened RPS 205 Superintendent Dr. Ehren Jarrett in his interview with Chamber CEO Einar Forsman on November 19. This was in response to him providing a quick overview pre- and post-COVID. It seems like such a long time ago, but Dr. Jarrett reminded the audience of their first crisis a year ago. That was their technology crisis from the ransomware incident. Just a few months later they dove headfirst into the pandemic. Dr. Jarrett outlined their response to the pandemic, and how ultimately, it led to a hybrid model of remote learning and inclass learning. The formal remote learning, in some cases, required significant technology enhancements including providing Chromebooks or iPads®. In addition, a key partner was Comcast, who provided reliable internet connections. Asked how the “new world” was impacting the district, students, faculty and parents, Dr. Jarrett said, He also touched on the tax rate, workforce availability and talent for the region, and spoke highly of the business community partnerships in sponsoring high school pathways. They are building strong relationships between employers and students. Site visits that are virtual, including job shadowing, have been impactful to students. In closing, Dr. Jarrett lauded the many people inside the organization and out in the community who regularly step up and are “all-in” for our students.

Rockford Chamber Golf Classic There’s nothing like a day on the golf course, but there’s REALLY nothing like a day on the golf course amid a global pandemic! 120 golfers were able to safely gather together for a lovely, albeit eventually quite wet, day on the course. The Golf Classic on August 31, presented by MercyCare Health Plans, provided a much needed in-person networking opportunity after a long summer. Rockford Country Club provided a safe environment where golfers felt able to fully participate in the day’s events while maintaining distance, wearing masks and following health and wellness guidelines. Golfers were able to enjoy a boxed lunch overlooking the river from the patio or indoors, socially distanced. With the onset of rain, it was in the golfer’s best interest to forgo the last few holes and head indoors for dinner! While the rain was not planned, many remained in good (and wet) spirits. Dinner was complete with a delicious Nothing Bundt Cake. To sweeten the day, our Putting Challenge Sponsor, Bluebird Network, was able to raise $300 for Children’s Home & Aid with their oncourse challenge. Did everyone golf their very best game? Probably not. Did everyone have in-person fun while strengthening business connections? Absolutely.
