WE'RE
CELEBRATING OUR 20TH YEAR IN 2011! WHAT AN EXCITING TIME!
| In
1991 the Addison Chamber of Commerce and the Addison Industrial
Association merged, to form the Addison Association of Industry
& Commerce, Inc.
Our
new organization worked in cooperation with its members from the
commercial and industrial business community, to retain and develop
business in Addison, and to represent business to local, county,
state and national governmental agencies.
In
2003 the members voted to change the name to the Addison Chamber
of Commerce and Industry. Our organization serves almost 300 members
from within our community and neighboring municipalities. Although
our name has changed, our commitment to be of service to our members
and the business community of Addison as a whole has remained the
same.
We
offer many excellent networking opportunities for our members by
means of our monthly luncheon meetings, breakfast sessions and seminars
where our expert speakers provide attendees with valuable and up-to-date
information. Our social gatherings such as scheduled business after
hours events, which are sponsored by members, the annual golf outing
and holiday cocktail party, offer opportunities to get to know each
other better. Our electronic newsletter "Shoptalk" provides
up-to-date information to our members on legislative matters, business
conditions, opportunities to advertise, and more.
We have served
the community in many ways, including support of our local service
organizations. Each year, the Addison Chamber of Commerce & Industry
has hosted a Student Honors Banquet, an event which allowed us to
recognize the top graduating students from Addison Trail and Driscoll
Catholic High Schools, and award scholarships. Following the closing
of Driscoll Catholic High School in 2010, the ACCI continues to hold
this event to recognize the top students of the Addison Trail High
School graduating class, and award the scholarships. By
promoting, informing and supporting its members and the business
community-at-large, the ACCI is an invaluable entity in showcasing
the advantages of doing business in Addison. For more information,
