Once a month, the Chamber will host an event that combines breakfast, business networking and an informational business program.

This informative and exciting function is an early-morning must for anyone seeking to network with other business owners and professionals. Sponsorships are available for this event.
River Valley Business Expo
Manufacturing, retail, hotels, utilities, and marketing firms are just some of the industries present at the Annual River Valley Business Expo. Exhibitors and staff are invited to attend business-focused breakout sessions and educational seminars taking place during set up hours. Looking to do some business-to-business networking before the big day? The Expo Preview Party offers participants and guests the opportunity to get a firsthand look at the booths, vote on best booth, meet with new and old friends, and partake in some really great food from area restaurants. The following morning, join the Chamber for an exciting day of activities, hundreds of give-aways, and food and entertainment demonstrations. Sponsorships and exhibitor space are available for this event.

Chamber Classic Golf Tournament
Held at the Russellville Country Club, the Chamber Classic Golf Tournament is a classic, three-man scramble aimed at combining fun with business. Company and organization teams will pair up and gain insight on the pristine courses of our local country club. Each golfer will have the opportunity to win cash prizes and awesome hole-in- one prizes on the Par 3’s. Lunch, beverage and snack carts, as well as, goody bags will be provided for all golfers.

Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting is the Chamber’s opportunity to gather the general membership together at one time to highlight the economic advancement of our community. Led by the Chamber Chairman and Chair-Elect, the meeting conveys the various business focused initiatives, lobbying efforts, and projects facilitated by the Chamber staff. A keynote presentation by a prominent Arkansas leader will highlight the meeting, followed by the recognition of the Chamber’s Red Coat Ambassador of the Year and Lifetime Status recipients, and Russellville’s Citizen of the Year. Tickets will be available, and the cost will cover the meal and program.
