can help you to reach our businesses, residents and visitors in

your avenue to advertise to the thousands of people that pass
through River North every day! By sponsoring a street banner,
you can increase visibility and exposure to thousands of
pedestrians, residents and commuters.You can advertise your
business name, address, web address, logo…the details are up
to you! Banners are installed on street light poles along streets
throughout River North.
Membership Directory & RNA Map & Neighborhood Guide
Our Annual RNA Membership Directory & Resource Guide and
our RNA Map & Neighborhood Guide are both annual pieces
that are used as reference tools for the area for residents,
visitors and businesses, so the investment in an advertisement

out every Fall, the Map every Spring.

of that edition. The four editions are: Spring (March, April &

annoucements for complimentary inclusion in our content.
RNA Website
Our website, redesigned in 2005, serves as our main way to
communicate with members, visitors to the area and residents.
There are opportunities to advertise on our site, and people
use our website regularly as a tool to see what’s happening
with the association, in the community, and also serves as a
service for people to join the association. The site also hosts
a full, searchable membership directory.
Monthly E-Newsletters
Our Monthly E-Newsletters go out the first week of each
month and serve as our most frequent way of staying in touch

The Soul of River North
You may already know that River North is home to more
restaurants and nightclubs than any other neighborhood in
Chicago. And that River North’s Gallery District is the second
largest in the nation. And that, with hundreds of design
resources conveniently located within our borders, River North
is a worldwide destination for furniture and interior design.
But did you know that River North is also home to some of
Chicago’s most influential and far reaching not-for-profit
organizations? If restaurants, galleries and design are the
arms and legs for this great neighborhood, our not-for-profit
members are truly its soul, delivering much needed resources
and funding to the community. More than 20 501(c)3 and
501(c)6 organizations belong to the River North Association
