Testimonials

“The West Suburban Chamber has been a benefit to me for a number of reasons. I made a major sale equal to over $600,000 because of a listing I placed on the Web site. I also enjoy participating and networking in the various Chamber programs.”
— Jerry Burjan, Burcor Properties

“WSCCI puts me in touch with a lot of different businesses that I can refer my clients to. Plus, it’s an excellent way to get to know a lot of business people in town and to expand my referral base. It’s also helpful to know that if I have a question or need a service I can just pick up the phone and contact someone who can help me and my clients. It’s nice to have a resource through which we can all help one another within the community.”
— Rose Rachford, Coldwell Banker, LaGrange

I have found my membership in the WSCCI to be of great value on several levels. The events are great and provide a terrific opportunity to meet other business people in our community. Membership in the chamber is a wonderful way to promote your business and to get involved in improving the overall business climate. I took advantage of the special monthly mailing program and have been delighted with the results. I received four inquiries for service within the first three days of the mailing. I am very happy with the chamber and recommend it to others who want to become better known in the community.

WSCCI is a great asset to both its members and the local communities. It has created an environment that has helped members to develop their organizations and to support our local communities and charities. I have found great value in my membership and believe that my business is better because of it.

“When I was new to the community, the chamber allowed me to meet so many interesting people. Not only have I received referrals for our business, but I have also used many local businesses that I might not have otherwise been aware of. I enjoy being involved in various chamber programs and I find the friendliness and cooperative spirit of this group amazing. The new members that I have encouraged to join have been very impressed with the chamber.”

The Chamber's commitment to raise consciousness of legislative affairs that either impact our business or, more importantly, our customers is an excellent, tangible example of chamber membership value.

“When I first started with the Chamber, I was not very active and did not get much out of it. Now that I am involved, over the past 4 years my business grew by 5%, and my contacts grew as well. I also have gained not only friends, but trusting relationships between other business owners, even competitors.”
— Tammy Rudman, MidAmerica Bank

“Rather than being a passive public-interest group, our Chamber takes strong positions on issues that directly impact business and our region. The Chamber takes a pro-active position regarding legislative action at the state, county, and local level. Our Legislative Affairs Committee is becoming very aggressive in following issues, adopting policies, educating members, and involving our legislators in the chamber.”
— Kenneth D. Tyler, Coldwell Banker

“I’ve been a member since 1986 to “do the right thing,” but my eyes didn't open until I decided to become actively involved, not just attending networking functions, but serving and then chairing committees, sitting on the Board and ultimately serving as President. I came to understand and appreciate the rewards from working to serve the business community, rather than just looking for my next lead. The funny thing is, since I formed the many friendships and attained the high visibility that comes with "going the distance", my business has expanded exponentially.”
— Ken Daemicke, Mulchay, Pauritsch, & Salvador, Ltd.

We are grateful for the support that the chamber has given us regarding a zoning issue affecting our business. Furthermore, having the Legislative Affairs Council means having a group that is dedicated to looking at the legislative effects on local businesses, and offers an educated opinion to the full board to be able to make decisions. Our participation in the Chamber has also opened doors for us to get to know other business people.
— Gloria French, The Landing at Plymouth Place

“The Legislative information and regular updates that WSCCI offers is invaluablel to every local elected public official.”
— Bob Bures, Village Trustee, Western Springs

Being a member of this chamber who is front and center with today’s issues; has a beat on what’s coming up next; and has meaningful impact locally, statewide and nationally, has helped my business to succeed and become more viable in the community.
— Michael LaPidus, Roly Poly Sandwiches
