CHAIR MESSAGE
Annette Loritz, Chair
New Year’s Greetings! On behalf of the Lisle Area Chamber
of Commerce Board of Directors, I would like to welcome
you to 2019! I look forward to our continued collaboration
with all the opportunities that the Lisle Area Chamber offers.
I would like to thank the Board of Directors for their trust,
and mentorship, as I move into the role of Board Chair. A
special thank you goes to our past Chair Peter James for his
exceptional contributions to the role during 2018. Along with chamber
members, Executive Director Jill Eidukas, Claudine Rummer and the Board
of Directors, the Chamber continues to promote an environment of
support and partnership for all in our community.
For those of you who may not be familiar with who I am, I work as
the National Director of Strategic Initiatives at Benedictine University, here
is Lisle. In my role, collaboration is key for the success of students and for the University. When I reflect on the University Hallmarks, Hospitality and
Community ring most relevant for what members do here, within the
Chamber. The commitment of our members is what makes our Chamber
community the welcoming organization that it is today.
For 2019, I encourage all members to attend exciting event and
networking opportunities. Every month, the Chamber hosts a variety of
activities to help promote your business so be sure to participate! Along
with events like the annual Dinner Dance, Golf Outing, Ale Fest, Lisle
Uncorked and Turkey Trot, there are weekly activities and opportunities
so be sure mark your calendar— we’ll see you there! Remember, the Lisle
Area Chamber of Commerce is here to help your business grow.
I look forward to 2019 and all that the year will bring. I am excited
for the opportunity to personally meet many of the members, which are
the heart and soul of our community. One of the ongoing initiatives for
the Chamber is to retain and grow membership. Like your business, a
healthy network is vital for success. I encourage all members to participate
in the many benefits the Lisle Area Chamber has to offer, and to invite new
members to join. In addition to member-to-member benefits, we all
prosper from being part of an even larger community. Wishing you a
happy, healthy and prosperous 2019!

Another year has flown by at the Lisle Area Chamber of
