Letter from the Executive Director

Happy New Year! As we turn the page to begin 2025, the Northbrook Chamber is here to support you and your business with best-in-class marketing, networking, advocacy and business education services.

The past year has been filled with memorable events and important milestones for our organization. From special annual events like the Business Expo, Golf Outing, and Auction & Taste to our monthly First Friday Breakfasts and Business After Hours gatherings, members have turned out in great numbers to build stronger Chamber connections. Programs like our VOICE! Women in Business Workshops and BizHUB Networking have taken root and continue to evolve and flourish. We encourage you all to participate in the events that spark your interest - your personal involvement will maximize the effectiveness of your membership investment!

The NCCI achieved a particularly significant milestone in May 2024 with the purchase of our building. After 30+ years as tenants in the Civic Building, we are now in a position to fully utilize the space for the benefit of the business community. The coming year will bring projects to preserve and upgrade this historic facility, allowing this one-time fire station to become a business development hub for the northern suburbs. Stay tuned for announcements of how to take part in these exciting initiatives!

On behalf of the NCCI staff, thank you to all our members for helping our organization thrive. Special thanks to our Board Directors for their leadership, our Ambassadors for their enthusiasm, and our sponsors and volunteers who make our programming possible. We wish you all a very happy holiday season, and look forward to continuing to work with you in 2025.

Kathi Quinn, NCCI Executive Director
