Member to Member Newsletter

March 2024

As a complimentary Chamber benefit, the Member to Member newsletter is a fantastic way to advertise your business to fellow members. Send your promotional piece to [email protected] by the third Monday of the month to be included!

To help our members understand how to maximize their membership, we host Member Orientation Meetings three times a year. These are free meetings held at the library that all members are invited to attend, whether they have been a member for two months or two years! On Thursday, April 4, we will host our next Member Orientation meeting at 11:30 am. This presentation will consist of:

Bob Lapinski from Innovation DuPage presenting on Owner-2-CEO
Meredith Hannah from the Village of Glen Ellyn to go over Village Programs
VP Membership, Brandee Martin will be presenting on how to utilize ChamberMaster to its full potential
Claudia Thornton, Executive Director to present on all other Chamber opportunities (Sponsorship opportunities, networking events, etc.)

This event is very worthwhile and not to be missed! Click HERE to register.

A couple of times a year, we host events that provide a unique marketing opportunity for our members. On May 6, we will have our Annual Community Golf Outing. During the dinner and awards in the evening, we will have a silent auction, for which we are currently looking for auction items. Donations in the past have been items such as a round of golf for four with the donor, sports memorabilia, gift cards/certificates, baskets, etc. Please contact the office if you are interested in this marketing opportunity!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Chamber office at 630-469-0907.

Please join us and Good Roots at their beautiful location for beverages, light bites from Marche, and great conversation! Ashley Aikens, co-founder of Good Roots will provide a 101 Presentation on Plant Care and provide 15% Discount on all purchases!

Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
