CHAIR MESSAGE


Lee Ernst

The Lee Ernst Group at eXp Realty


As we welcome the month of March, I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce, I am excited to share the events and happenings taking place in our community. Check out the latest. There is a Bike Path under development that will take riders from the North end of Lisle to the South end. The route will be along Rte. 53 (Lincoln Avenue) and will have access to the Downtown area with all of the shops and restaurants. How great is that!

 

We are growing our Chamber membership. If you’re a business owner and want to grow your business, meet other like-minded individuals and network with other business owners, joining the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce is a wise decision. For the low cost of membership, you will receive greater benefits than any other investment you can make.

 

Lastly, we would like to invite everyone to participate in our events. This is a great opportunity to meet business owners and community member, and to learn about the Chamber, its mission to support local businesses and improve the quality of life of community.

 

We hope to see you at these events and encourage you to support your local businesses. If you have any questions or would like to get involved with the Chamber, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!

 

Best regards,

AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT

Amy Thomas-Stompanato


Amy Thomas-Stompanato, Park East Office Suites, is this month’s featured Ambassador. Amy has been with the Chamber for over two years. In addition to the Ambassador Committee, Amy is also involved with LINCT (Leadership In Networking Committee Team). Amy enjoys being a Ambassador because it is fun to network with other businesses in the area and a great way to expand her network.

 

Amy is the Office Manager at Park East Office Suites located in Wheaton. She also works for Huck Bouma PC and handles all of their purchasing. At Park East Office Suites, Amy manages the office which includes taking care of her tenants’ needs whether they are an actual physical tenant or a virtual tenant. She also handles all of the bookkeeping, invoicing, scheduling, handling mail, phone calls and whatever else the tenant might require for their business. Amy has been in management since her early 20’s, whether it was in retail or in sales.

 

Amy lives in Lisle and has grown twins, a boy and a girl. Her daughter lives in Nashville and is a Nurse Practitioner at Vanderbilt. Her son is a Senior Data Engineer at Abbott Laboratories. She also has an 11-year old rescued Shit Tzu named Macie. Her favorite bit of wisdom is never burn a bridge you may need it, and treat others as you would want to be treated.

Chambers of commerce provide access to valuable resources, discounts, and relationships that help businesses save money and market their products. Joining a chamber of commerce can boost sales and significantly improve a business’ visibility and credibility. A chamber can support professional development, increase business contacts, and expand your network.

 

To be successful, business owners and employees must spend a significant amount of time interacting with others, communicating information, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and managing conflict. In my opinion communication is the most important social skill you can polish. These skills can be practiced at chamber networking events.

 

There is a myriad of benefits when you join the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce. One great benefit is the ability to leave materials about your business at the Chamber table at the Lisle French Market. The Lisle French Market runs each Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. starting from Saturday, May 13th through October 14th.

 

Another Chamber benefit is that you can take part in the Chamber Committees. There are committees for events (Golf Outing, Lisle Uncorked, Scholarship, and Turkey Trot Tune-Up 5K) as well as the Ambassador, Government Affairs and LINCT (Leadership In Networking Committee Team) Committees. If you are interested in joining a committee, please contact Claudine for dates and times for those meetings.

 

The Lisle Area Chamber Scholarship Committee will be meeting to review and choose the scholarships given out each year to deserving high school students. The Committee will be meeting in April. The Chamber will be giving out 3 - $500 scholarships. If you are interested in joining the Scholarship Committee, please contact us. You can find the scholarship application on our website (insert here). These applications have been sent to the high school guidance counselors as well. The requirements are that the student must either be a student of a Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce member and/or have a residence in the 60532 zip code.


The Chamber has a newer Facebook page, please click on the Facebook icon below to like, and follow our page to stay up to date on events and Chamber happenings.
