Our mission statement really tells who we are as an<br />

organization and what we try to accomplish for our<br />

membership as well as for the Village of <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong>.<br />

During the course of each year, you will see us hosting<br />

several events around town: some traditional, like the<br />

Taste of <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> and some brand new, such as the<br />

Fashion Showcase. Our membership is always striving to<br />

try new things that will benefit our business community<br />

and the people who live in <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong>. The Chamber has<br />

a vast membership spreading from the Central Business<br />

District out to Roosevelt Road and Five Corners—all<br />

interacting to better serve our businesses as well as<br />

bring people into <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> to see this beautiful<br />

community. We also lend a hand to organizations either<br />

by fundraising or through the volunteer efforts of our<br />

dedicated members . Many of our events throughout the year are facilitated by the<br />

Village of <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong>. We are sincerely grateful for their cooperation; it is very<br />

important that all of the organizations within the village work together for the greater<br />

community . Please remember to do your shopping locally . We have a plethora of<br />

unique shops with merchandise that you won’t find anywhere else. Your patronage is<br />

what will keep our village vibrant. When you’re done shopping, relax at one of our<br />

wonderful restaurants.<br />

A prosperous 2010 to everyone—come out and see us at a Chamber event!<br />

2010 GECOC President<br />

A message from Paul Sivak, Precision Payroll of<br />

America, LLC, who served as Chamber President in<br />

2009 from April through December:<br />

Looking back over 2009, what a busy year it was. The<br />

changes…the challenges…made for an exciting time in<br />

the history of the <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> Chamber of Commerce .<br />

New events and fundraisers for 2009 included the<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Awards Breakfast, Autumn Daze, and the<br />

<strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> Fashion Showcase. The Chamber was able<br />

to support its membership and the businesses of <strong>Glen</strong><br />

<strong>Ellyn</strong>, and gave back to the community with<br />

contributions to Supplies 4 Success. Even more new<br />

challenges and exciting events await <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> in<br />

2010! With the support of the community and our<br />

Chamber members, this year will be one of our best!<br />

It was an honor being President of the <strong>Glen</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> Chamber of Commerce.
