The Rochester Professional Consultants Network (RPCN) has been named the September Fairport-Perinton Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month.

Since 1990, RPCN has been helping business consultants within the Greater Rochester community. The founders were former Kodak employees who had a vision to help each other develop consulting businesses through mutual support. Today, RPCN has many offerings to support business consultants, many of whom work alone.

Business consultants will find RPCN offering networking meetings, educational events, business and technology forums, and a consulting business boot camp.

During Fairport-Perinton Chamber events, you will find Bob Manard in attendance, representing RPCN. Bob became a member of this organization in 2014 and served in the past as President.  He holds an MBA from the Simon School.  In 2014, he opened Faces That Work, serving small and mid-size businesses with website, digital marketing, and mobile app development services. Bob is a Certified Google Partner and regularly presents workshops on using Google tools effectively.

In addition to being a member of the Fairport-Perinton Chamber and RPCN, Bob is also a member of the Tech Committee for the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors (GRAR).

From Board and Member Committee perspectives, Kellie Wright shared, “Active participation is an important success factor to extract the greatest benefit from Chamber membership. Our all-volunteer board works to create and host networking opportunities for all professionals to find value and have fun while attending the events.”
