AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT
Michael Lo
Michael Lo is this month's featured Ambassador. He is the Secretary in charge of communications with the Kiwanis Club of Lisle, which is a community service organization. In addition to his time with Kiwanis Club of Lisle, he is in business development and IT recruiting for CIeNet. He has been with the Kiwanis Club of Lisle for over 7 years, but started out with the organization in high school as a Key Club member. He has also been in information technology either in sales or as a consultant in various roles for over 25 years.
He enjoys being an Ambassador because he can quickly learn about new businesses and business developments in Lisle. Being connected with the Chamber in this way also helps him promote his organization, Kiwanis Club of Lisle, and boost support for the club in the community. it's also been good socially to meet interesting people in the community.
Michael lives in Lisle with his wife, daughter, tropical fish, and a stubborn, but loyal beagle-French bulldog mix. He enjoys perfecting his golf swing, reading everything he can and watching quality movies. His favorite quote is by Winston Churchill who stated that "Success is not final, and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts." Michael thinks it is important to continue moving forward and learning from one's success and failures.

Multi-Chamber Economic Luncheon & Business Expo Press Release from John Quigley, Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce
FED REPORTS ON ‘RAPIDITY’ OF ECONOMIC PLUNGE, RECOVERY
ELMHURST, IL, April 21, 2022 – There’s both good and bad news to report regarding America’s recovery from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic-induced healthcare crisis and economic downturn, resulting in an 8.5 percent increase in the inflation rate from March of 2021.
That was among the financial data shared with some 250 businesspeople and 39 exhibitors representing Elmhurst and 23 other west suburban chambers of commerce at the 20th Annual Economic Outlook Luncheon held at Ashyana Banquets in Downers Grove on April 19.
Anna Paulson, Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, delivered the event’s Keynote Address in-person for the first time following her March 3, 2021, debut via Zoom video conferencing.
Titled “The Economy: How Did We Get Here and Where Are We Headed?”, Paulson’s power-point presentation highlight the “rapidity” of both America’s Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic-induced financial crisis and the inflation-producing recovery.
Prior to his introduction of the Keynote Speaker, John Quigley, President and CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry, thanked Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau Executive Director Larry Forssberg for his collaboration and gave a brief history of the event—which started in 2003 as a joint venture of the WSCCTB and ECCI.
Carl Tannenbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Economist at Northern Trust, served as the Keynote Speaker for the first five years and then William “Bill” Strauss presented for 13 years before retiring as Senior Economist and Economic Advisor in the Economic Research Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago shortly after the February 2022 luncheon.
“Our Keynote Speakers have provided essential insight into the working of the American economy—often predicting Bear-like challenges and Bull-like opportunities a year or more in advance,” stated Quigley, ECCI President and CEO since 1999.
Paulson stated that doing an in-person presentation after years of virtual meetings and events was much welcomed and an honor for her to follow in the footsteps of Tannebaum and Strauss.
Her presentation started out by highlighting the disparity between key economic factors, such as the increasing rate of inflation versus low interest rates and relatively “tight” job market versus historically-low unemployment rates.
Paulson reported that the “rapidity” of economic downturn was mitigated by the “rapidity” of the recovery thanks primarily to a strong fiscal policy response by the federal government, strong monetary policy response by the Fed and strong public health response.
“We developed vaccines in a record time,” stated Paulson, reporting that nearly 70 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, “and made them available to the masses.”
The increase in the rate of inflation is a by-product of an economic recovery from June of 2020 to today that has been both faster and stronger than anticipated. A number of factors have exacerbated the inflation rate such as both supply chain and job staffing issues, and rising food costs and sky-rocketing gasoline prices stemming from Russia’s war on Ukraine.
“Inflation and labor (concerns) might be the trade-off we will have to accept against a slower recovery and possible recession,” stated Paulson.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is project continued low unemployment rates and for the inflation rate to moderate towards historical norms.
Factors reducing the inflation rate include a moderation in supply pressures and less-accommodative fiscal/monetary policy. Supply pressures include a shift in consumer consumption from goods back to services, supply response to higher relative prices and return of workers to the labor force.
“Will inflation moderate?” stated Paulson. “People’s expectations are for inflation to moderate.”
Household income has been buoyed through the pandemic by financial assistance at the federal level and increased unemployment insurance benefits, most wage growth has benefitted low- and moderate-income workers, and personal savings is higher than normal.
Consumer consumption has skewed toward goods (automobiles, electronics, etc.) over services (restaurants, entertainment, etc.) during the pandemic versus the traditional breakdown of two-thirds for services and one-third for goods.
An entrepreneurship anomaly coming out of the economic crisis is that a historically-high number of small businesses were created over the past two years.
“While bigger businesses can absorb higher costs (for labor, materials, etc.),” Paulson stated, “small businesses can be more nimble and adapt changes quicker.”
The luncheon program also included a power-point presentation on the Metropolitan Emergency Response & Investigation Team (MERIT) by Village of Westmont Chief of Police Jim Gunther, who is serving a two-year term as Chair of MERIT’s Executive Board.
Prior to the luncheon, Anna Paulson met in round table-style with participating chamber executives to learn more about the concerns of their member businesses.

The Morton Arboretum Marks its Centennial
The Morton Arboretum in Lisle is celebrating its 100th anniversary throughout 2022 with a series of centennial-themed programs and events. The Arboretum was founded in 1922 as “a great outdoor museum of trees” dedicated to plant collections, scientific research, and educational offerings. A century later, the nonprofit organization continues its mission to plant and protect trees for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world. Among the highlights recognizing the 100-year milestone are tree-planting initiatives in the local community and the seven-county Chicago region, activities that honor the history of the Arboretum and anticipate its second century, the opening this fall of a grand garden as a new centerpiece for experiencing the Arboretum, and the publication of a commemorative book titled A Magnificent Garden of Trees: Celebrating 100 Years of The Morton Arboretum. Newly released, this 176-page hardcover edition is a photo-filled keepsake that addresses the past, present, and future of the enduring tree-focused institution (available in The Arboretum Store; $34.95 retail).
