As a Member of the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, you’re given a list of benefits based on your Membership tier. The NACC has 4 Membership tiers to consider: Grow, Engage, Community Partner, and Chairman’s Circle. Outside of the unspoken benefits of Membership, like meeting a new business partner or creating a professional network that can advocate for your business, your list of benefits is your pipeline to engaging with the Chamber and should reflect the goals of your business.
Understanding the Tiers
Each NACC Membership level is designed to support businesses at different stages of growth and with varying community engagement goals. Whether you’re a new entrepreneur, an established organization, or a regional leader, the Chamber offers opportunities to support your growth.
Grow Membership: Building Your Foundation
The Grow Membership is perfect for small businesses, startups, or professionals looking to establish their presence in the Naperville community. This level provides the essential tools and access points needed to begin building relationships and visibility. Members can take advantage of networking events, Ribbon Cuttings, business referrals, and basic marketing exposure through the Chamber’s digital platforms.
Best for: Entrepreneurs and small businesses focused on growth and visibility.
Engage Tier: Deepening Your Connections
When you’re ready to take your involvement to the next level, the Engage tier offers additional visibility and opportunities for influence. Members at this level often participate in additional marketing opportunities, gain enhanced access to communication with Chamber Membership, and expand their impact through advocacy or additional business listings on our directory.
Best for: Businesses ready to expand their influence, deepen community connections, and take on a more active role in the Chamber’s initiatives.
Community Partner Membership: Amplifying Your Impact
The Community Partner Membership positions your business as a community leader. This level provides premier marketing opportunities included in your Membership dues, invitations to exclusive Chamber programs and recognition at all NACC Signature Events as a Community Partner. Community Partner Members also receive access to a dedicated staff Member, our Engagement Manager, who can help you strategically use your benefits every year.
Best for: Established businesses that want to strengthen their brand while supporting economic and community development in the Naperville area.
Chairman’s Circle: Leading the Way
At the highest level of Membership, the Chairman’s Circle represents a commitment to leadership, advocacy, and influence. Members in this tier gain the greatest visibility, right of first refusal on sponsorship opportunities, and the ability to build deeper engagement into your Membership dues including tickets to events, sponsorships, advertising and other unique opportunities. This investment directly fuels initiatives that support business growth and position your business as a leader in the Naperville area. Members at the Chairman’s Circle level Member kick off the year with a strategic meeting with our President & CEO and a staff Member dedicated to their success, our Engagement Manager.
Best for: Regional leaders and corporations that want to drive local impact and be recognized as champions of Naperville’s business community.
The NACC isn’t just a business organization—it’s an ecosystem of leaders, innovators, and community advocates. Your Membership tier determines not only the benefits you receive but also the depth of your involvement and influence in the Naperville business community.
Choosing the right tier means aligning your Membership with your mission—so that every event you attend, connection you make, and opportunity you pursue moves your business closer to its goals.
