The Westmont Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau addresses its priorities through active involvement from members.
The Chamber boards, committees and project teams allow members to choose an area in which they have an interest and to help develop programs for all Chamber members. They are also an avenue by which members can proactively develop and guide programs and events and participate at a higher level with the Board and Staff. Participation on a Chamber Committee is a great way to meet fellow members and can help increase the visibility of a Member and its organization. To learn more about an individual committee or to volunteer, call the Chamber at 630/960-5553. Get involved, increase your visibility and make a difference!
