New Page 5

Dear Members:

I have great news about your Chamber. Yesterday we received word that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has given the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce the prestigious designation of a 5-Star Accreditation ranking.

Approximately one percent of all chambers have achieved this prestigious ranking.

Only 75 chambers of commerce, out of the nearly 7,000 in the country, have earned this designation and your Chamber is one of the elite one percent. What does this mean for you? 

The 5-Star Accreditation designation gives you the knowledge that you are investing your time, talents and resources in an organization that is best in class among our peers. 

The Chamber is only as strong as our Members and our collective ability to positively influence the regional business community is directly attributable to your support and engagement in our efforts. The 5-Star Accreditation is a reflection of our business community and this honor and its prestige belongs to you, our valued Members. 

We will continually strive and advocate for an economic, political and social system that respects individual freedom, incentive, initiative, opportunity and responsibility. Your Chamber will work to meet the evolving needs of our membership.  

We will continue to grow our role as a community forum inclusive of all business types. The 5-Star Accreditation ranking reflects our role as the leading voice of the business community in the western suburbs. The Chamber will continue to expand our advocacy efforts and improve outcomes. 

The Chamber also congratulates the staff and board of commissioners of the Naperville Park District who received national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies yesterday -- what a day for Naperville!

I want to publicly thank the board of directors and staff of the Chamber. We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff that work tirelessly to advance the mission of the Chamber.  
The 5-Star Accreditation is something that our entire business community should take pride in, so congratulations and thank you!  
 
Sincerely,

John Schmitt
President & CEO
Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce
