People often ask why they should join a Chamber. A few reasons include; Increased exposure for your business with exclusive marketing opportunities along with member listings on the Chamber website; Year-round networking opportunities - Learn about new and established businesses in our local area, shop local, discover valuable business resources in your own backyard, and connect with other local businesses to explore new synergies and partnerships; Learning - Find resources and grow your business through Chamber sponsored educational seminars, roundtable discussions, webinars and links or showcase your own business by hosting a learning event; Have a voice in your community - let the Burbank Chamber of Commerce serve as your trusted advocate to the local community; Feel good about supporting local business, growing local jobs and increasing the economic wealth of your local community; New businesses - host a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of your new business or an evening of fellowship to introduce your business.
Past membership contributions have allowed the Chamber to participate in annual events and programs which includes the John F. Fitzgerald Scholarship Awards Luncheon where scholarships are given to the top two High School students in honor of Burbank’s first mayor, and, the Annual Golf Outing. Which brings businesses, organizations, friends and family together for a day of golf, fun, food and raffles. It also allows us to support local organizations by making donations back to the community such as the scholarships, and to local businesses like the Garden Center, Burbank Park District and other organizations throughout the year. As a matter of fact, in the summer of 2020 we are proud to be a part of celebrating the 50th Anniversary of The City of Burbank, which is a milestone that we share with the City of Burbank.
With so many accomplishments in the past years and so many more planned for the upcoming years, I hope you say yes to support the Chamber. You may join or renew your membership by completing the enclosed membership form and returning it with a check made payable to: The Burbank Chamber of Commerce, Attn: Executive Secretary at PO Box 972 Bedford Park, IL 60499.
