Holiday greetings from the Chamber! During this hectic time of year, I’d like to pause for a minute to thank our members for making our organization vibrant, engaging, and welcoming. The past year has been filled with transitions and challenges, but our Chamber’s amazing sense of community and mutual support has remained consistent. The important things don’t change.
Four members have been selected to join the Chamber’s Board of Directors beginning in January 2023. Marc Cornfield, Nick Drivas, Irene Schloss de Brihuega, and Matt Settler were presented as a slate by the Board’s Nominating Committee earlier this fall to fill upcoming vacancies as current members Stephen Barr, Bob Caldwell, Hania Fuschetto, and Alli Gilley complete their terms of office.
Local shoppers have an extra incentive to visit Northbrook stores and restaurants this holiday season: a Shop Local contest with weekly drawings for $50 gift cards. It’s just one element of a multifaceted marketing campaign presented by the Chamber in partnership with the Village of Northbrook.
Members and friends gathered for a delicious evening as the Chamber brought back its Auction & Taste fundraiser after a pandemic-caused hiatus.
The Nominating Committee for the Chamber’s Board of Directors has submitted recommendations to fill Board vacancies in 2023, as well as new appointments to the Board’s Executive Committee. The names of the slated Board nominees were presented at the Board’s October 13 meeting, and shared with the full membership in an email from Chair Julie Lerman on October 26.

We will also introduce an award that will rotate categories annually, beginning with a Franchise of the Year presentation.
