Recognition Matters.
Turns out, peopleย likeย recognition. They are happier, more productive, and more engaged. The community benefits when people understand what good work others are doing. It inspires others to go out and do good work, too! Recognition is an important part of a healthy business environment. Itย Leads Business Growth. And we're here to facilitate the path to recognition.
Consider nominating an organization, individual, team, co-worker, neighbor, friend - whomever is appropriate - for recognition by the Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce. They (and you) will be glad you did.
