Board Member Recognition

In honor of the Gladstone Park Chamber of Commerce's 30th Anniversary we are recognizing our Board Members for their support and dedication to the success of our small businesses in the community.

Brian Nadig

Vice President

Brian Nadig works at our local newspaper, Nadig Newspapers. He has been there for 40 years of the 80 years they have been in business. Nadig Newspaper has been a member of the Chamber since 1991 and Brian has been a Board Member since 1992.

Brian joined the board because members are a great source for news. The greatest value of being a part of the Chamber is "The networking and satisfaction of doing something good for the neighborhood."

Brian has been married to his wife, Shari, for 32 years. Their daughter, Julie, works in Chicago Downtown. Brian works with his father, Glenn, who has been running Nadig Newspapers for 62 years.

Membership Sponsors

In these trying times, we do have some members, who due to restrictions being placed on their business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that find themselves struggling and unable to take on additional financial obligations. In light of this, we are looking for members who are able to step up and help sponsor your fellow businesses. Members who sponsor will be recognized on our website and in our monthly newsletters. Members who receive this sponsorship will remain anonymous and continue to receive the full benefits of being a Chamber member. If you are interested in sponsoring one of these businesses, please call 773-756-6206 or email cathy@gladstoneparkchamber.com.
