The Professional Service Award honors the long term commitment of a Rock Falls professional. The nominee’s service to the community has come directly through the work they have completed as a part of their employment, yet their work has made an outstanding impact on Rock Falls. Nominations for this award will be accepted every year, however awards may not be presented each year.

Nomination forms for Rock Falls’ prestigious Shoulder to the Wheel Award are available. This special award is given each year at the Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Meeting & Dinner. Nominees will be accepted in the following categories: Individual, Organization, and Youth Organization. While emphasis is given to work done in recent years, that work can be cumulative, or focused on one specific project.
NEW Rising Star Award will be awarded to an establishment that has been in business for less that 2 years. This business has demonstrated tremendous growth, success, leadership and business skill. We look forward to having their business in our community for years to come.
NEW Member Business of the Year Award will be awarded to a Rock Falls Chamber Member business who has been in business longer than 2 years. They have created a lasting impression on the community by demonstrating successful customer service, services/products, leadership and community involvement.
