The beat starts here..... the heartbeat of Lombard business, that is
If you are a Lombard area business owner or representative, you owe it to yourself and your company to join the Lombard Chamber of Commerce and Industry. An Atlanta-based market research firm, The Schapiro Group, has revealed that consumers are 63 percent more likely to buy from chamber members. This information alone should be enough to convince you that membership is valuable. However, attendance at the various networking opportunities, business luncheons, the annual business expo, educational seminars and much more will allow you to showcase your business and acquaint yourself with fellow business members throughout the community. For example, 60 business men and women were in attendance at the above pictured Lilacia AM Open Networking event last week. This is a terrific example of how networking and referrals will help you to spread the news about your own business and afford you the opportunity to exchange ideas with others. This event is offered on the second Friday of every month from 7:30-9 a.m. at Sweet Tomatoes, 2820 Highland Ave., Lombard. Free coffee and muffins are served. Open to all. Call the Lombard Chamber of Commerce and Industry at 630-627- 5040 and discover all that membership can do for you. Join today and let the Lombard Chamber start working for you with the able help of Executive Director Yvonne Invergo and her effervescent assistant, Georgette Mrofcza. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that this is the National Chamber of Commerce Week. Join now!
Food for thought..... We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success—only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people.
