Investment in You and Your Business

The Northbrook Chamber of Commerce & Industry is being spotlighted on the Community Art Wall located in the lobby of First Bank Chicago. The new exhibit highlights their mission to provide networking, educational, and marketing services for its members while working to build a better business environment to benefit the entire community.

The Northbrook Chamber of Commerce has served as an advocate for the business community for almost 70 years. They offer a wealth of programs and services ranging from monthly networking programs and advertising opportunities to professional development and advocacy with local government for more than 600 members, representing businesses and organizations of all sizes and types. In addition to the regular programs, the Chamber hosts a variety of special events including a Business-to-Business Expo, an annual Golf Outing, an Economic Outlook Breakfast, and an Auction & Taste.

Amy Kahhat, VP/Multi Market Manager at First Bank Chicago, currently serves as the Chamber’s Board Chair. “It’s an honor to serve as the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce Board Chair. The Chamber advocates for the success and prosperity of businesses throughout the community,” says Amy. “Showcasing the Chamber at the bank will spark interest and create a sense of involvement among community members. It’s an excellent way to boost visibility of the Chamber and support the growth of small businesses.”

Throughout the year the Chamber's VOICE! Women in Business Workshop Series, sponsored by First Bank Chicago, brings together women professionals for in-depth conversations about topics that matter to you: business planning, financing, marketing, personnel management and more. Presenters include female entrepreneurs, experts and mentors who share their winning strategies. Series subscribers have exclusive access to informal ConnectWorking™ meetups in the months when no workshops are scheduled! Build stronger connections that turn into powerful relationships for your business.

The Northbrook Chamber exhibit is located in the bank lobby and will be open to the public during regular business hours throughout the month of July.
