Dear ECCI Members,
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of our 107th Annual Awards Gala. It was a memorable evening, and we are grateful to all who played a role in making it so special. Congratulations again to our award recipients, and thank you to our sponsors for being part of this important celebration.
We are proud to host our Second Annual Local Business Leadership Summit: AI, Cyber Security, and Succession Strategies, in partnership with Elmhurst University and the City of Elmhurst. This year’s program features an exceptional panel of speakers, including John Kampas, Walter Salek, and Rich Reichert, who will share valuable insights on today’s most relevant business topics.
As workforce needs continue to evolve, we invite you to connect with emerging talent through our upcoming Multi-Chamber Job Fair in partnership with College of DuPage on Thursday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m..

We encourage you to take part and connect with the next generation of talent!

We are proud to continue fostering connections that strengthen our business community.
