A monthlater, on July 13, 1910 a group of approximately 1,000 businessmen and manufacturers met onthe river steamer "Illinois" to organize a chamber. Chairman of the organizing committee wasE.H. Keeler. This meeting was followed a month later by a Chamber "Round-up" day to solicitmembers for the new Chamber. In the months following these initial efforts the group elected aBoard of Directors, officers, and created a committee structure. The first officers were PresidentR.K. Welsh, Vice President F.S. Datin, Treasurer August Floberg, and Secretary Art. G. Brown.Committees created were: Finance, Conventions, Traveling Men, Civic Improvement,Membership, Manufacturers, Colleseum, and Municipal. In 1921 the Chamber conducted a reorganization and recruitment campaign that succeeded in signing up over 1,400 members. InApril of the same year the Chamber incorporated. Early in its history the Chamber becameinvolved with the local credit bureau which had been established in 1900 as the RockfordBusiness and Professional Men's Association. The organization became a department of theChamber in 1923 and was known as the Credit Rating Bureau. In 1944 the Credit Bureau ofRockford was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rockford Chamber ofCommerce.During most of its first fifty years the Chamber focused much of its energies on problemsand issues relating to private business and economic development. As the local economychanged and problems common to mature urban-industrial centers emerged, the Chamberexpanded its activities. Through its annual program of work, standing committees and projectcommittees the Chamber broadened its areas of community involvement. The Chamber continues to function in many traditional roles but now sees itself as a community-centered problemsolving organization that emphasizes cooperation among the business, government, andeducation communities in Rockford.SUBJECT TRACINGSChamber of CommerceChamber of Commerce of Rockford AreaDiscriminationEconomic DevelopmentPhotographsRetail TradeRockford (Ill.)School District of Rockford (Ill.)Segregation in educationRC 180 - Rockford Area Chamber of Commerce Records
