Dear Fellow Members:
On behalf of the Addison Chamber of Commerce & Industry, we wish that your new year will be filled with health and happiness, and that your business reaches new heights of success. We look forward to the coming year, and are anticipating many new ways in which we can serve you.

Looking back upon past recent years, the ACCI has undergone many changes - including our name, the institution of our website, our broader scope of networking opportunities through combined luncheons and events with other chambers, and more. The combined chamber progressive luncheon with Bartlett, Bloomingdale, and Roselle scheduled January 17th is our latest networking endeavor.

As we look ahead to the new year, we have many new ideas to pursue, which will allow us to grow and expand the number of ways our members can advertise and reach out to potential customers.

At our January 26th meeting, the ACCI membership will elect officers and the board of directors. Please attend this meeting, cast your vote, and witness the swearing-in ceremony. Newly-elected officers and directors, and those who are currently completing terms, will work together to see that our organization continues to grow and benefit our members. They have a very important role to be forward-thinkers, to seek and find new service opportunities to offer you, and to implement innovative ideas.

Our members have an equally important role to keep us informed of services, luncheon speakers, and other manners of assistance which we can offer.

We appreciate your continuing support and interest in the ACCI and look forward to seeing you at future events in the coming new year.

Sincerely,
Jeff Hintz, President
