Rochester Regional Chamber honored

The Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce (RRCC) has been named Michigan’s Outstanding Chamber of the Year in the large membership category. The award was recently presented to the RRCC by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Executives at their annual leadership conference in recognition of the RRCC’s quality, innovation and effectiveness of programming.

The Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce has more than 1,400 Chamber members and is the largest chamber in Oakland County. Chamber members encompass the areas of Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township. Approximately, 30 percent of its members are from outside of the community and the chamber has a staff of six people.

Linda K. Davis-Kirksey, chairperson, RRCC Board of Directors, stated “I am so proud of our Rochester Regional Chamber member family. Without the dedication of our Executive Director Sheri Heiney, the chamber staff, and our talented and focused Board of Directors, this would not have been possible. It is an extreme honor and good news for Rochester’s regional business community.”

The mission of the RRCC is to provide leadership by advancing business development in partnership with civic, cultural and educational interests for the benefit of Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township. Founded in 1955, the RRCC is the principal voice of the Rochester business community, focused on fostering a favorable climate and promoting orderly and progressive development for this region.
