The Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the addition of two new members to its growing network of local businesses and organizations: Rowland Auctions LLC and Special Olympics Illinois.

Rowland Auctions LLC is a locally operated auctioneering business, bringing professional auction services to the region.

Rowland Auctions aims to bring energy, expertise, and integrity to every auction they host.

Special Olympics Illinois is a statewide organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of sport. Providing year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics Illinois fosters inclusion, builds confidence, and strengthens communities. Their impact extends far beyond athletics, touching the lives of athletes, families, volunteers, and supporters across the state.

“We are thrilled to welcome both Rowland Auctions LLC and Special Olympics Illinois to the Chamber,” said Chance D. Munroe, executive director of the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our members are the heartbeat of our community, and these two additions bring unique value, talent, and heart to our network.”
