Membership in the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce Really Pays Off

Local Neighborhood Mix writer recognizes the benefits of Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce membership.

Featured local contributor Whitney Levon researched her subject well when she wrote her article on the benefits of membership in the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce. Levon writes "The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce offers several perks to local businesses that join the organization. These perks are all in addition to the usual opportunities to network that you will find in other chambers. Many organizations offer business-to-business networking opportunities and the chance to have your business listed on their website, but not much more than that".

Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce President Bill Morton stated regarding the article "It was a breath of fresh air to read that a local writer really understands that our chamber of commerce is pushing forward to benefit our members and our community in any way that we can. We really do everything possible in the best interest of business in Rogers Park including not only networking events, internet marketing and shoveling storefronts during the winter, but offering many useful options that are geared to build and strengthen our local businesses".

Two examples of member benefits include a $40 discount for graphic design or letterpress printing at member Tweedle Press and One month of free internet service with the purchase of a Clear internet package from member Quest Network Services.
