2008 BOARD CHAIR MESSAGE
   

Thank you for visiting the Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce website. We continue to have activities that promote and grow local businesses. We have several activities that help businesses network and promote their business. There are currently 5 networking groups, the Chamber has at least 2 Networking @ Nites per month, we partner with our Biz 6 group to promote networking between Chambers and we have two major social events the golf outing and the business Community Holiday Fashion Event. The Chamber has several avenues in which you can advertise your business for example, in the monthly newsletters and through a variety of sponsorships. The Chamber continues to review their activities through a yearly strategic plan. The Chamber Board realizes that the retention and attraction of new members is important. The Chamber will continue on strengthening activities that are in place but also work on partnering with local government and civic organizations to be a resource and voice for the business community. One way we will be doing this is by having business forums on important topics of interest related to businesses. We are always looking for volunteers for committees, events and assistance in the Chamber office. Please contact the Chamber office, if you want more information on being a volunteer 847-359-7200. I look forward to assisting the business community in this manner.
