Industry Councils

Join an Industry Council

The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce Industry Councils bring together professionals who work in the same industry to build real relationships, share perspective, and develop referral-based connections. These peer groups are designed to support meaningful conversation, shared learning, and practical business growth alongside others who understand your work and your market. Spanning 12 key industries, each council focuses on connection within your profession. 

Available Councils

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses interested in supporting Industry Councils. Sponsors are not required to work within the featured industry. 

Member Benefits

Each Industry Council includes: 

• One in-person, guided networking or discussion event each year 

• A dedicated group email for ongoing peer connection and communication 

• Name and company listed in the Industry Council directory on the NACC website 

There are no required monthly meetings and no additional participation fee. Applications are accepted year-round on a rolling basis. Participation as a council member is limited to professionals actively working within the selected industry. Participation is open to NACC member businesses and organizations. 

Annual Networking Event Access

Non-Members are welcome to attend the once-a-year, in-person Industry Council networking event. The added value of joining a council is the year-round visibility, dedicated peer communication, and continued connection with professionals within your field.
