With more than 500 members and over 100 years of experience, the Glenview Chamber of Commerce works to make Glenview a destination of choice for business and their owners and for the customers and community that contribute to Glenview.
History and Structure of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce
Established in 1923, the Glenview Chamber of Commerce has over 100 years of history supporting the Glenview business community and its residents. While the networking and community events the chamber has put on throughout the years have changed, our mission remains the same.
The mission of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce is to embrace innovation, respect tradition, and make business personal, one connection at a time. Our core values of community, growth, and innovation are the guiding principles that help shed light on new opportunities.
To accomplish our mission, the Glenview Chamber of Commerce works to serve as the voice of the businesses in Glenview. We seek out business information, best practices, new ideas, and create connection opportunities for our members. Members benefit from networking events and marketing opportunities to help grow their customer base and build business connections.
Our Board of Directors helps oversee the chamber’s policies and programs to ensure a wide range of business best practices and accountability. You can meet and connect with our chamber staff and board members here.
Our Business Impact
The Glenview Chamber of Commerce serves over 500 local businesses that represent a wide range of the business community. This includes large organizations with over 400 employees, nonprofit organizations, and many family-owned and multigenerational businesses. The majority of our members have fewer than 10 employees and live and work in the Glenview community. You can find all of our member businesses here.
While a vast majority of our members have businesses here in Glenview, some are located outside of the village and have an interest in connecting with Glenview residents.
