Dear Chamber Members:

Fall is in the air.  The pace of the day has quickened.  School has started, new plans are in place and the holidays are not far away.
With the change of season so begins the new membership year at the Winnetka-Northfield Chamber of Commerce.  Throughout the day, throughout the year, the Chamber reaches out with opportunities for business connections. 
  • Annual membership dues letters and informational packets have been mailed to our 350 current chamber members. "The Chamber is the largest business organization in the Villages of Winnetka and Northfield" and each one of you is a valued member. Consider upgrades to your membership to create stronger connections to your market
