Commerce and for the community as school is now in session. The Chamber has
put a survey out to the membership to keep all information about your business
as accurate as possible. Make sure that you fill this out and send it back in to the
office staff. Our membership is very important to us and we want to make sure
that we are able to serve you, so if you are not receiving information or if have
changes please let us know.
David Duer
I want to express how proud I was that the Roswell
Invaders won the World Series for their league the first
year. I am so excited to have another season. They
played great baseball and I want to thank everybody that supported them.
The Chamber of Commerce hosted your 11th Annual Business Showcase held at the Roswell Convention
and Civic Center on August 11th. The Showcase was attended by numerous individuals and businesses
were thrilled to show off their key products.
President, Board of
Directors
2011-2012
The Roswell Chamber of Commerce was co-host in the Out of this World Job Fair along with Work Force
Connection, Hispano Chamber of Commerce, Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell, Congressman
Steve Pearce and Economic Development. There were over 60 businesses with hundreds of jobs to offer
and over 500 employees looking for a job. This was held at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center
August 16th and was a terrific success! Congressman Steve Pearce along with Mayor Del Jurney
addressed the group and officially opened the event with a Ribbon Cutting from the Roswell Ambassadors
(RedCoats). Tim Keithly from Congressman Pearce’s office was the M.C. for the event and a fashion show
was hosted by the Eastern New Mexico University – Roswell.
The Chamber of Commerce sponsored two very fine young artists at the Roswell Fine Arts League & New
Mexico Miniature Arts Society 28th Annual Juried Art Show held at the Roswell Museum and Art Center on
August 18th.
