Volunteer, Network, Meet New People
There are many opportunities to get involved in the New Lenox Chamber. Volunteering is a great way to network and meet new people. Listed here are some of the annual events and committees staffed by volunteer chamber members. Contact the Chamber for more information about these and other volunteer opportunities.
Chamber Ambassadors
This energetic group of people maintain contact with other Chamber members, serve as mentors for new Chamber members, and promote the Chamber of Commerce and its purpose. Ambassadors attend Chamber functions and serve as the "meeters and greeters" at Chamber events such as the monthly Business After Hours, Think Tank breakfasts, Chamber luncheons, and business grand openings and ribbon cuttings. Many times, the Ambassadors are the first contact a new member will have upon joining the New Lenox Chamber of Commerce.
Let us know if you'd like to join the Ambassadors. They meet at 8:30 am on the 3rd Tuesday on a bi-monthly schedule - and they get involved!
