A letter from President & CEO, Laura Crawford

Perhaps it’s the crisp temperature, the crunch of fallen leaves, the childhood memory of a new school year or just the smell of change in the air that serves as a reminder that Chamber630 has a new start every October 1st at the commencement of the fiscal year.  

Once again, we’re completely prepared for change: two new staff Members, a newly introduced Membership Model, a brand new website, new and exciting programs and the anticipation of a new baby to welcome into the Chamber630 family (congratulations Becky and George).

If you haven’t met Shannon Kragel, Programs & Marketing Associate or Heidi Brugh, Business Development Associate for Chamber630, please stop by a Business-Off-The-Clock to say hello.  Shannon oversees the website, all marketing collateral and events. Heidi is building Chamber630 Membership in businesses located south of 63rd Street. Her current focus are the future Members from the Village of Woodridge. Both Shannon and Heidi are refreshing and knowledgeable professionals, a great addition to Chamber630.

The new Membership Model is Partnership Packages that are value packed with success strategies for your business. Some Members have already signed on and are thrilled with choices offered as well as year-long price knowledge to market their company. When you receive your annual renewal, it will come with detailed information. I’m confident you’ll be pleased to capitalize and position your business once again, with one of the largest business organizations in DuPage County.

The Board of Directors, Members at large and staff have been working hard on the new Chamber630 website for several months. No one is more excited about this than me. Between the new website and Partnership Packages, you will find your business with dramatically increased search engine optimization as well as new and innovative ways to showcase your business.

The new fiscal year provides the opportunity to examine and re-examine all that we do for you.  Your feedback has told us to keep some of the winning programs and change up a few of the others. We recognize that your time is your most valuable asset and the importance of capturing untapped connections for you. You will now find Chamber630 on Instagram and COGGNO, our webinar training partner, will have an even larger offering at unmatched pricing. As we earn your business, never hesitate with your feedback. You’re the one who will make your chamber a better Chamber630.

Your Chamber630 staff is truly thrilled with the forthcoming birth of Grayson Patsais, due to arrive in just a couple of weeks. We will keep you posted; I have a feeling we’ll be capitalizing on that new Instagram account.


Thank you for your Membership,
