Ribbon Cutting Policy

1. Ribbon Cuttings and Ground Breakings will be offered to the Chamber members if they are:

a. New business in the area
b. Business under new ownership
c. Business that has relocated
d. Business which has undergone renovation
e. Celebrating a major anniversary (1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc.)

2. The San Juan Chamber of Commerce requires at least two-week’s advance notice in order to set a date for ribbon cutting or ground breaking events. Tuesdays and Thursdays are most successful at 10:00a.m. or 4:00/5:00 p.m. Weekends are not recommended due to poor volunteer attendance (but will be considered at member’s request).

3. The Chamber staff will invite our Board of Directors, The EDC Board of Directors, Mayor and City Council, and community leaders via email and fax notice. If the member would like to print a special invitation, the Chamber will print and forward. Member will be responsible for postage.

4. Staff will do reminder calls prior to the event.

5. The Chamber of Commerce cannot guarantee attendance as it is a volunteer-based organization.

6. The Chamber of Commerce will provide photographer, ribbon, scissors and/or shovels for event.

7. A press release and photo will be featured in the Advance, and will be printed in the City’s quarterly newsletter.

8. Photos are usually taken in the front exterior of the business where business name or sign is displayed. The member is encouraged to block off area in front of their business before event, so it will remain available when photo is taken. Photo may be taken inside as well.

9. The member is encouraged to provide refreshments and/or finger foods of their choice (not required) and invite relatives, friends, and other business associates.
