What our members say
about us

"Growing up in a farming family, this time of year always brings to mind planting – planting crops, gardens, flowers…which isn’t too different from what I still do every day, but instead of crops, gardens & flowers, I’m planting things like ideas, relationships, referrals…for future business. As business owners, we all do this every day and the Grundy County Chamber is a great advocate in helping us do this. They have many avenues to get your business name out there and meet future clients and colleagues. As the old saying goes – “you reap what you sow” – let’s get sowing!!"

"I just wanted to say thanks for a great event. We scheduled a patient for a consultation that night, and had others show up with their insurance cards ready. I also just received a referral from the Home & Health Expo. Kramer Management, Inc.

As a member of the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, I give kudos to the all the chamber staff for help in promoting my business. Participation in various activities available through the chamber is encouraged and is the catalyst for the growth of my business. Opportunities such as Business After Hours - networking, “Home & Health Expo”- business promotion, & Annual Golf Outing - fun, social activities, are a few benefits of membership. As a resident of Grundy County, I am delighted to see our communities growing responsibly. As we all know, a safe, vibrant, growing, community is great for families & provides great opportunities for business. The current downturn in business will reverse sooner than most think and Grundy County will be in a good position to prosper due to our chamber leadership. I believe this organization deserves some credit for helping to produce a positive atmosphere for business. Thank you Caroline, & the entire Chamber of Commerce & Industry staff, for helping me & my business grow."
