Tyler R.O.S.E. Veterans Discount Program
The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce honors the men and women of our nation’s military, welcoming and recognizing them and their families as valuable members of the community.
Approximately 35-38,000 separating service members will transition into Texas communities with 7-10% choosing communities like Tyler. The Chamber realizes that veterans make significant contributions that benefit every aspect of the greater community.
The Chamber is committed to ensuring that the veterans and business communities receive positive recognition in accommodating America’s service members and their families as they return to live successfully in the local community.
In 2017 the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and the Veterans Committee created a program to encourage businesses in the Tyler area to offer a discount to those returning veterans. A card called R.O.S.E. (Recognizing Our Servicemembers Everyday) was created and issued to veterans, requiring them to show proof of veteran status. Participation by a business in the program requires the business complete an application provided by the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and return to the Chamber office. As a business participant they will receive a window decal, indicating that business has signed up to honor the R.O.S.E. card and the business will be listed on the Chamber’s website. Those businesses signing up to recognize the R.O.S.E. card is not required to be a Chamber member.
To date the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce has over 1,000 card carrying members. The business application is located below. Should you need more information about this program, please call the Chamber office at 903-592-1661. You may return your application by fax at 903-593-2746, email at, chamberinfo@tylertexas.com or mail to the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce, 315 N. Broadway Ave., Tyler, TX 75702.
