Join the Chamber community on March 7 as we honor our 2022 Business Award winners, recognize new Board leadership, and preview plans for the coming year. Our Annual Meeting will be a festive social evening at the Hilton Chicago - Northbrook, featuring a grazing menu and cocktails. Award presentations will follow the cocktail hour while attendees enjoy dessert.
“We are planning an in-person event that allows our members to enjoy time together while we pay tribute to our award winners, Grill House, Saf-T-Gard, and Gail Eisenberg,” explains Chamber President Tensley Garris.

Corporate Citizen
Saf-T-Gard Stands Up for Community
For many Northbrook residents, Saf-T-Gard International, Inc. may not be a household name even after 43 years as a local business. However, Village leaders and area charities know that Saf-T-Gard and the family behind it are always ready to lend a hand. Their commitment to the community has grown even stronger during the pandemic, making them a deserving choice for the 2022 Corporate Citizen of the Year.

Business of the Year Grill House Builds Customer Loyalty
Some businesses become local favorites over the course of many years; others swiftly reach that status. Grill House may be a fairly recent addition to Northbrook’s restaurant scene, but it has built an outstandingly loyal customer base through their multi-platform marketing, community outreach, and something-for-everyone menu. Their success in navigating the challenges of the pandemic offers lessons for all kinds of businesses and makes them a natural selection for the Business of the Year Award.
