Consider Becoming a Sponsor
Here at Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, our goal is to
provide our members the “building blocks” to a better business. We
are your one-stop source for information, advocacy, human resource
services, and networking to help employers build their businesses,
their dreams, and our economy.
Despite serving more than 1,300 member organizations employing
150,000 workers, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce works
hard to make members feel like top individual priorities. Rochester
Chamber is the voice of business across the nine-county Finger Lakes
region and can be your voice too! I invite you to take that extra step
and showcase your business to the community through our highly
regarded events.
We offer numerous sponsorship opportunities to put your
organization’s name on our newly energized programs and events.
By sponsoring these events, you receive the platform you need to
position your company in front of leading business executives and
anywhere from 50 to more than 2,000 attendees, depending on the
series. This platform allows you to network, build relationships with
those leaders, and get noticed; it allows you to take your business to
the next level.
Enclosed is information detailing event series sponsorship packages
at a variety of levels ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 with
appropriate benefits attached. Please contact Rochester Chamber
Events Director Susan George at (585) 256-4612 or
Susan.George@GreaterRochesterChamber.com with any questions.
We look forward to your support and engagement at our events.
Warm Regards,

Robert J. Duffy
President and Chief Executive Officer
