Lake County Chamber Celebrates
95 Years of Service in 2010
The Lake County Chamber of Commerce was established in 1915 as the Waukegan Chamber of Commerce. In the mid-nineties, the name was changed to the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, shortly after the organization moved to its present location on Grand Avenue in Gurnee. Today, the Lake County Chamber represents businesses from throughout Lake County and beyond.
The two main goals of the Lake County Chamber are to provide member businesses with opportunities and value for their membership. Monthly networking opportunities at the Chamber include the twice-monthly Networkers Group, Women's Networkers, the Hispanic Networking Group, a Business After Hours hosted by a member business, and the Business Luncheon series. These networking opportunities are supplemented by educational programs and seminars, community events, an annual business showcase, and the Chamber's annual events, the golf outing, and the annual dinner.
Additionally, Chamber members have the opportunity to promote their business through a variety of "member benefits" that include free and discounted advertising, sponsorships, the member-to-member discount program, newsletter and web site advertising, and referrals from the Chamber and other members. Advertising through the Relocation and Tourism Packets is available as well.
Throughout the year, the Chamber provides member companies with a variety of other opportunities to promote their business and make the social and business contacts necessary to succeed in business today. These projects include County maps and membership directories, community guides, chamber events and fundraisers, and volunteer boards and committees to name just a few.
For membership and/or program information please call the Chamber at 847-249-3800.

Lake County Chamber Business Testimonials
Please see below what people are saying about the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. What the Chamber does for these businesses, it can do for yours!
Being a member of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce gives our organization access to many business resources and contacts that would otherwise have been difficult to organize if we would have had to compile them on our own. The structure of the affiliate chambers, Hispanic, Waukegan and Gurnee, offers the variety and diversification that we have been searching for. Our company has benefited immensely because of our involvement.
