I am honored to be the new President and CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry. As a dedicated long-time Chamber member, small business owner and Elmhurst resident for more than 25 years, I’m humbled to begin this new chapter as the first female to assume this title in our Chamber’s 106-year history. I’ve always felt a deep connection to this community and am excited to bring my experience and passion to this position.
