As we wrap up another year and look forward to the future, I want to thank all of our 400 members for their support over the past year and ask you to continue to be engaged in 2019 and beyond. As we look back at our successes in 2018, it is clear that support from our members comes in many forms, from countless volunteer hours, to sponsorships and lent professional expertise. We simply could not put on the programming we do without that support.

While we are proud of the work we accomplished in 2018, our board, with the help of Barbi Brewer-Watson, our president and CEO, has set its sights on further growth in 2019. A Chamber is only as strong as its membership, and we all benefit from having more members. As such, the recruitment of new members will continue to be a focus of the board and the Chamber staff. Our commitment to growth is not limited to membership numbers but includes expanding our programming and reach as well. To that end, we are excited to welcome the Black Business council, the Retail Council, and the Restaurant Council to the Chamber. If there is programming that you would like to see the Chamber provide, I would encourage you to contact the Chamber’s offices.

My request for you in 2019 is simple. Please continue to invest in the Chamber, and help us promote commerce in Kankakee County.

 Sincerely,  Scott Smith
