Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day is observed annually on the third Wednesday in October. The Chamber of Commerce’s primary objective is strengthening local businesses of all sizes. The best way to honor this organization is to use the services of local chamber businesses.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been in existence since 1912. President William Howard Taft first brought the concept for an organization that would represent the concerns of U.S. businesses in an address before Congress in December of 1911.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce offers numerous programs both nationally and internationally in support of businesses. Whether they’re raising awareness of regulations, setting initiatives or campaigning for better markets, the Chamber provides support to the communities they serve. Additionally, they provide outstanding resources for startups, online business and those looking to advance their business outlook worldwide.
The Logan County Chamber serves the communities of Sterling, Crook, Fleming, Iliff, Merino, and Peetz. We are fortunate enough to have such positive, forward-looking leadership from our city and county officials, economic development team and business leaders. The collaborative efforts are evident in the progress that has been made and will result in a bright future. The mission of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce to be dedicated to support, promote, and guide the business and civic communities of Logan County to nurture positive business and community growth. The Chamber provides programs and services to enhance our favorable business climate. We have been and will continue to be a force for constructive change in the community.

On behalf of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director Glenna Aurich-Phelps (not pictured) presented Pilkington Financial Services
(back row left to right) Becky Bohler, Shanan Doherty,Michele Carabello and (front row left to right) Cindy Pilkington,Curt Pilkington and (not pictured) Derek Pilkington, and Sandy Zimmerman with the Business of the Week honor.
Curt Pilkington saw a void in the estate planning process in the 1970’s, so he got licensed and started selling life insurance to help families with the inheritance tax burden.
Curt started the life insurance business in 1975 in Greeley. In the 1980’s he became a Financial Advisor and wife Cindy took over the life, health and disability operation.
Curt and Cindy moved the practice to our current location at 226 S. 2nd St. in Sterling in 1984.
In 2019 Shanan Doherty, Derek Pilkington, CFP and Curt Pilkington became equal partners in the Financial Advisory business and changed their business name to Pilkington Financial Group.
Thanks to technology we can work with over 500 families in 32 states. Several families include four generations!
To sustain this growth, we added a Denver office in 2017 near Cherry Creek. Derek Pilkington runs the Denver office while Curt and Shanan run the Sterling office.
According to the business, "Our success can be contributed to our hard working and knowledgeable team. Becky Bohler has been with us for 22 years and is the office manager for the Financial Advisory side. Sandy Zimmerman joined the firm in 2000 and works with Cindy in the insurance operation. Michele Carabello joined Pilkington Financial in 2017 and is an integral part of our team. Our firm is unique in that we offer a full array of Financial Services including comprehensive Financial Planning, Investment Advisory, Life, Health, Medicare and Long-Term Care Insurance Services."
Join us in congratulating
Pilkington Financial Services

Yet even with business interests, scholars, and politicians on both sides of the aisle lining up to support the early childhood education cause, millions of American children are still not getting the care they need to succeed-or even to keep up. So why, when the importance of quality early care and education is so widely accepted, do we continue to fail so many?
