The Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce ‘Knocks it out of the Park’ for Small Business Week
The Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce (RRCC) announces an opportunity for area businesses, individuals and nonprofits to celebrate Small Business Week by joining the Chamber during an annual Membership Drive, May 2-6. “Knock it out of the Park” will be a one-week event with the goal of welcoming 100 new members.
“Chamber membership is an essential way to grow a business, gain visibility and connect with the community,” said Sheri Heiney, RRCC Executive Director. “’Knock it out of the Park’ Week is the perfect time to join the chamber and grow your business.”

Partnering with the chamber has helped business and nonprofits of all sizes. “Being a member of the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce provides a unique value for Oakland University by giving us another outlet and forum to share our campus news and events with members of the community,” said Brian Bierley, Director of Media Relations at Oakland University. “The Chamber helps connect the city’s business community with that of education, health care and other important community organizations that support a successful Rochester.”
