Five years ago, the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce developed Impact Possible 2016 to build upon its first successful initiative, Define Our Destination. The results for both campaigns have accelerated economic growth in the Rogers-Lowell Area significantly.

Impact Possible 2016 was created using input gathered from current investors and new stakeholders, and crucial planning meetings were held across the area with the purpose of continuing to move economic growth forward. Investors in Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce stepped up and overwhelmingly supported Impact Possible 2016. Stakeholders agreed that a strong economic development organization must continue to make a difference in our community’s global competitiveness.

Investments in Impact Possible 2016 – from corporations, small businesses, foundations, and individuals – provided critical financial support, enabling us to make a big difference in growing business and building community. These investments helped to achieve the following results, establishing the Northwest Arkansas region as a globally competitive area.

Northwest Arkansas continues receiving national accolades for its economic vibrancy from a variety of notable sources.

Working together, we’ll continue the momentum that we have helped to create by “seizing the opportunities” developed from our recent successes. This will allow our community to take advantage of the continued growth and prosperity that is on the horizon for Rogers-Lowell Area and the Northwest Arkansas Region. The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce works hard to create an environment where businesses can thrive, grow the economy and provide the quality of life that residents and businesses of the community seek. We have the right assets to not only compete, but to thrive on a global scale!

Impact Possible 2021 identifies the challenges to our community moving forward and proposes key core strategies with measurable goals that properly assess the progress of the initiative. Your five-year investment in Impact Possible 2021 will help to ensure our community gains its rightful place at “center stage” in the global economy.

The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce’s Impact Possible 2021 campaign is an aggressive economic development and business expansion and attraction plan. The Plan has input and support from the private and public sectors within the Rogers-Lowell Area. Impact Possible 2021 is designed to raise the necessary funds to continue broadening, developing and implementing the Chamber’s expanded economic development initiatives for the next five years.

In partnership with local governments, community organizations, businesses and professional firms, the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce will build a cooperative vision for achieving the five-year measurable goals outlined in its economic development initiatives. 

As a five-year economic development program of aggressive business expansion and attraction, Impact Possible 2021 will have a tremendous impact on the Rogers-Lowell Area. Funding for the strengthened program will be sought from an expanded base of business and professional firms realizing the potential for improving their community, owning  market share and visibility, and supporting the economic prosperity of the Rogers-Lowell Area.

First, the measurable goals and objectives for Rogers-Lowell Area have been developed through a process that involved many stakeholders and community leaders. This process ensures that the Chamber’s goals for this economic development initiative mirror the needs of the business community, public sector officials and other area leaders in Rogers-Lowell and Benton County.

Once the fundraising campaign is over, tapping the expertise of our investors will be an integral piece of the Impact Possible 2021 initiative. Our investors will benefit from an enhanced reporting system that will benchmark the Chamber’s economic development efforts. Full financial disclosure and accountability will continue throughout the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce’s third initiative. Additionally, the Chamber will continually develop opportunities for investor involvement in the program’s execution and implementation.

The economic development programs of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce in the preceding years have been funded and guided primarily by the private sector.  Each of the two previous programs, Define Our Destination and Impact Possible 2016, were successful in reaching the outcomes established. With two previous successful programs under our belt, the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce is positioned to accomplish even more with the next five year program: Impact Possible 2021.

The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to a Program of Work with positive, dramatic impacts for the Rogers-Lowell Area over the next five years. In addition to increased national and regional awareness of the Rogers-Lowell Area, our key economic development goals for 2017 through 2021 are noted in the graphic to the right.

The five-year cost for Impact Possible 2021 is a minimum of $3.1 million invested by the private sector. The area’s businesses, individuals, institutions, civic groups and foundations will be asked to invest in this economic development program. Each investment request will be based on the individual investor’s stake in the community, Impact Possible 2021 components, and the projected return on investment. The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce will be the organization to insure accountability for funding and outcomes of Impact Possible 2021.
