101st Annual Celebration of Business and Community

The Chamber's Annual Celebration is the highlight of the Rogers Lowell Chamber year, recognizing the organization’s current and incoming leadership.

The big picture: We’re telling the very important story of the Chamber’s Vision/NEXT initiative and how it keeps inspiring the entire organization to be forward-thinking in serving business and community together. The initiative’s desired outcomes are ensuring that RLC is relevant to the next generation; competent in an era of rapid change; necessary because our mission-work solves real business and community challenges; and sustainable with our funding.

The year at-a-glance: 2022 was both a tribute to the generations of servant leaders who helped the Chamber be successful and a celebration of 100 years of Chamber history building business, activating leaders, and building business in our region.
