GENERAL EVENT PLANNING INFORMATION
Fill out the information below to get the process started for your event. Proposed dates should be at least 30 days in advance.
Have at least 2 dates in mind. (Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs evenings after 5pm work the best.) The Chamber will coordinate availability of key members of the business community and elected officials.

After we confirm the date then let’s let everyone know. Invite your clients, staff, friends, family (Remember it is your
party!) The Chamber office will invite the business community and Village representatives.

Decide which type of refreshments you will serve. Typical size of Chamber participants is 10+ people. A listing of Chamber restaurants and caterers can be found on our website (www.westmontchamber.com) or by calling the Chamber office (630-960-5553).

Decide whether you want to hold a raffle for prize give-aways to help promote your business or to just add to the festivities

The Chamber staff will partner with you to promote the event, bring ribbon and scissors for ribbon cutting events, bring a camera for the photo op, nametags and a sign-in sheet or you can use a large bowl to collect business cards.

The Chamber office will issue a Press Release to local media with a photo of the event, a brief on your business and contact information
