CHAMBER OVERVIEW Your Oak Park – River Forest Chamber of Commerce is a vibrant and vital voice of businesses in the local community. We are a 501c6 membership organization, created to address the needs and further the interests of our membership. With over 400 small- and medium-sized businesses, organizations and nonprofits among our ranks, we represent a wide swath of the local economy. We have a small staff but a robust website — www.oprfchamber.org — and an eager army of volunteers and committee members. We encourage you to get to know us, become a member and get involved in our business community!
STAFF
WHAT WE DO
The Chamber focuses its efforts to serve members through four distinct areas: information, education, promotion and community. As the representative of the business community to local governments, the Chamber provides information to and from our membership. We work closely with various partners to foster understanding and communications between residents, village governments and the business community. Whether it is taxes, mass transit, education, parking or any other vital issue affecting our business enterprises, the Chamber actively represents and provides the information businesses need to operate. The Chamber helps you stay educated on issues of importance to business. Through forums, lunch-and-learn speakers, workshops, classes, discussion groups and partnerships with other business organizations, members can stay abreast of topics ranging from healthcare to social media to back office operations to marketing and much, much more. As the leading B2B organization in the area, the Chamber helps members promote themselves and their services to each other. We also provide specific benefits to reach the local consumer market, including online and print media. Our “welcome bag” programs allow members to effectively and affordably reach new businesses and new residents while our relatively new web presence continues to be a strong option for business and event promotion. Finally and perhaps most importantly, the Chamber fosters community among the business people who invest in our villages. Our networking events, volunteer opportunities, business support, advocacy and programs are characterized by a sense of collaboration and cooperation. The Chamber and its member community are committed to the notion that a healthy, vibrant local economy is a critical part of a strong society.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Oak Park – River Forest Chamber of Commerce is a leadership and educational organization which fosters and promotes businesses and business interests in the Oak Park and River Forest area.
On the cover: Photo by Michael Roberts of artist Darrin Hallowell’s Points of Interest artwork at 115-129 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park. The six concrete columns represent human figures. Each column has a single side with the imprint of a different figure, inviting you to stop and interrogate the person you see. A sense of community is established by funnel-like holes which link each figure visually to the space we all share with one another. The sculpture was part of Oak Park’s annual sculpture walk.

When she was little, her imagination was limitless. She was a doctor, a ballerina, an astronaut, an artist or Dorothy (okay, Toto too). She still has big dreams, though now they are this side of the rainbow. Let Trinity be home for four years and watch her make them all come true. Because when it comes to building confidence in her dreams, there really is no place like Trinity.

NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES
River Forest
Oak Park and River Forest are fortunate to share their borders with historically interesting, vibrant, diverse communities. As part of the area known as Western Cook County, these villages share history, economic trends and social issues. The communities depend upon each other and draw from each other in a healthy competition for businesses, residents and tourists. Indeed, the intersection of Harlem Avenue and North Avenue boasts a different municipality at each corner: Oak Park at the southeast corner, River Forest at the southwest corner, Elmwood Park at the northwest corner and Chicago at the northeast corner.
ELMWOOD PARK North of River Forest
Village of Elmwood Park: www.elmwoodpark.org Grand Corridor Chamber of Commerce: www.grandchamber.org With the motto “Village of Pride,” Elmwood Park is proud of its independent heritage. Known for years for its concentration of Italian-American families, the community has seen greater ethnic diversity in recent years. Its commercial districts include light

industry as well as an array of ethnic delis, bakeries and restaurants especially along Harlem Avenue and Grand Avenue. The recent combination of the Elmwood Park Chamber with those of River Grove and the Mont Clare neighborhood in western Chicago has given way to a new name, the “Grand Corridor” Chamber. Elmwood Park boasts an extensive park system, significant Forest Preserve land and the exclusive Oak Park Country Club.

Chicago 36th Ward: www.aldermansposato.com
“Big City Access, Small Town Charm” boasts Forest Park, the small Village nestled just south of River Forest and west of Oak Park. The three sister villages are often thought of together – mostly by the residents and visitors who hop back and forth across Harlem and Madison in search of parks, fine dining, nightlife, attractions and shopping. Forest Park is a Main Street USA community and has been particularly successful in developing its Madison Street business corridor. Early commercial development included many bars and restaurants, capitalizing on Oak Park’s long-standing culture of temperance. Recent revitalization has brought a concentration of unique restaurants and independent merchants that lend an air of trendy urban sophistication to Forest Park’s small town charm.
Galewood Community Organization: www.galewood.net Chicago 29th Ward: www.cityofchicago.org/ward29/ The Austin neighborhood in Chicago is the largest community in the city of Chicago by both population and geographic size. It comprises multiple wards and even neighborhoods within the neighborhood. The area bordering Oak Park is Alderman Nicholas Sposato’s 36th ward on the far west border of Austin and the Alderman Deborah Graham’s 29th ward on the north border of Oak Park. After redistricting in 2015, the 29th ward will include the small residential enclave of Galewood just north of North Avenue, technically part of the larger Austin Community. Austin boasts the beautiful and extensive Columbus Park and the Midway Park area, a National Register historic district featuring homes that speak of the opulence of the residential community in the early 1900’s. A loss of jobs and commerce as well as “white flight” in the latter half of the twentieth century led to disinvestment and disrepair. Community organizations are working hard to stabilize, revitalize and redevelop the community.

MAYWOOD West of River Forest
Village of Maywood: www.maywood-il.org Maywood Chamber of Commerce: www.maywoodchamber.com Maywood has a long history as a planned community taking advantage of the excellent rail transportation as well as the migration of residents west following the Chicago Fire of 1871. Although economic changes over the past 150 years have impacted the village, the essential character remains the same: Maywood remains a residential community with industrial east-west corridors. Situated on the western bank of the Des Plaines River, the community extends from Roosevelt Road to Augusta. It features a diversity of residential architecture, including 16 buildings listed in the National Historic Register. Maywood also is the starting point for the Illinois Prairie Path, the nation’s first rails-to-trails conversion of old rail lines into a multi-use nature trail for non-motorized use.
