Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce is pleased to offer members an opportunity for more exposure to their business with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. This free service is for members who have recently opened their doors for the first time, moved to a new location, or expanded their current location.

CRITERIA

• An Anchorage Chamber ribbon cutting ceremony should take place within six months of the grand opening, moving, or expansion of your business.
• The ribbon cutting ceremony event date cannot conflict with another Anchorage Chamber event. All ribbon cuttings must be scheduled to start during business hours, 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. To ensure our availability, check the Anchorage Chamber schedule. To ensure staff and Ambassador availability, we schedule no more than three ribbon cuttings per month.
• Ribbon cuttings must not be scheduled during national holidays or when the Anchorage Chamber office is closed.
• New members must commit to a two-year membership before the confirmation of the ribbon cutting. Confirmation of this agreement means the member agrees to an automatic membership renewal.
