Spring update from our Board Chairman
With so much going on in Waukegan this year, where do I begin? To start, this year we welcomed Dawn Simerly, our new Executive Director, to our Chamber family and a new board member, Tom LeBaron! 

We moved! We are now on located within City Hall. Join us May 18th at 4 PM for our Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting celebration!

Our goal is to offer great networking opportunities to help your businesses grow and succeed. Every month we have a Lunch and Learn, a Business After Hours and a quarterly Wake Up Breakfast with featured business leaders in our community. Our HUGE Annual Golf Outing and Business After Hours will be held on June 13 th , 2018 at Glen Flora Country Club. We have our annual beer tent at Scoop in July.

There’s big news in the healthcare scene! Oak Street Health opened a new clinic on Grand Ave and US HealthVest acquired Vista West which will be operating as the Lake Behavioral Health Hospital.
Enjoy daily restaurant specials and check Harbors Edge for special weekend events.
