The New Year is often a catalyst for us all to examine what we are doing and how we can work to make ourselves improve. One word I use is “intentional”. I work hard to be intentional in WHAT I do as well as WHY I do it. I want to challenge each of you to be intentional in all you do this year and work to get involved and engaged in groups and programs you are passionate about.
Here at the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, we have many ways for you to find your niche and really thrive in 2021.

Join TEAMs
Our leads and professional development TEAMs meet twice a month, creating an opportunity for you to pass along leads to other Members.
It is comprised of non-competing businesses, therefore creating a community where you can help build your reputation and expand your business in a unique way – while helping fellow Members do the same.
