Ribbon Cuttings

Ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings are important to your business - and it is important to the Chamber that we help our partners with these important events such as grand openings, relocations and significant anniversaries, provided they meet our specified guidelines.

 

As a Chamber member, you receive the following ceremony benefits:

  • The Chamber conducts ribbon cutting and groundbreaking ceremonies at no cost to our members.
  • The Chamber will include your ribbon cutting/groundbreaking in our Monday Morning Coffee email that is sent to nearly 2000 Chamber representatives. Attendance may range from 15-75.
  • Chamber staff provides support in the planning stages with time-and-date coordination and agenda preparation. The more notice the better for proper advertisement and notification to our membership.
  • Ceremony pictures will be uploaded to our website within 2 weeks of your event.

On the day of the celebration, we bring the big scissors and ribbon, or in the event of a groundbreaking, we bring the shovels for the "official" dig. If you would like to incorporate an open house or something else with your celebration, we will be happy to publicize that information in our e-mail advertisement as well! Contact Dawn Smiley, Membership Director, for more information.
