Membership

“If you are a company that is considering joining Greater Rochester Chamber and hasn’t yet made that step, I would say it’s time to join a wonderful community of business leaders who are committed to not only driving their business’s successes but also in fueling and contributing to the success of our community locally. I believe there are 1,300 members locally, so what a network of other business leaders to be able to bounce ideas off of, get inspiration, network with, and partner with, all in support of driving one another’s business and supporting our local community and keeping people in Rochester, where we all live.”

Kimberly Jones, President & CEO, Butler/Till

"As a new business, we have grown very rapidly in the last four years, starting with one employee, and growing to over 60. There are a lot of HR questions that come up as a business owner and among our staff. Greater Rochester Chamber has been very helpful in providing us with resources and different tools we can lean on in the HR realm. This means we didn’t have to take on the financial burden of hiring somebody in the HR realm, but instead allowed us to lean on Greater Rochester Chamber for resources that have answered a lot of our questions and guided us as we continue to grow.”

Rachel Bantelman-Evans, Owner and Founder, Lumos Infared Sauna Studio

“We had to grow like never before and hiring people was key. Having access to the talent at Greater Rochester Chamber to get us access to the people in the community was instrumental. There's a lot of challenges still in [our industry] and a lot of solutions that can help. We're going to need the Chamber to help us hire more people and continue to get us access to business leaders and community leaders to help us build our community here and grow.”

Jay McHarg, CEO, AeroSafe Global

"Having Greater Rochester Chamber as a partner helps us identify talent, market opportunities here, and helps us showcase our growth. On the advocacy side, the Chamber helps not only when there's issues at the state level that we really need to help shape to make our business grow faster, but also as the laws change make sure we're aware of what's going on and making sure that we can stay in compliance.”

Mark Murphy, CEO, Greenlight Networks
