Networking 


ChamberNet
By being a part of this networking group, you will be able to meet with fellow Chamber Members for lunch, to share leads, give supportive ideas, learn about each business in depth, and promote your business/service by giving 30 second infomercials.
This non-competitive group meets every Wednesday of the month at 11:45 a.m.-1:00 at Lamplighter Inn Tavern and Grille, 60 N. Bothwell, Palatine. Engage in conversations with fellow members over lunch. Never let a chance to network pass you by! Plan to join us for lunch. For more information, call James Voight at (847) 705-7555. (Dues are $140.00 per quarter – includes lunch)

ExecNet
ExecNet is a dynamic group of business people that strive to encourage and challenge its members to new levels of success. It is the only networking group in the Chamber that allows competing businesses to be members. ExecNet has grown from its initial 11 members to over 49 members in 4 years by encouraging its members to bring new business people to the group. ExecNet meets every Wednesday morning from 7:30 a.m.-8:30 a.m. at the Harris Bank building at 50 N. Brockway, west entrance, lower level. Once a month, ExecNet invites a local Palatine community leader to speak to the group. All Chamber members are invited to participate in this group. For more information, Call Mindy Phillips at (847) 359-7200.

Northwest Business Builders

Keyworth at 630-776-0284. (Dues are $100 per quarter – includes breakfast) 

PalNet
Are you serious about referrals? Even in a down economy in 2009, PalNet members generated 217 referrals and converted 139 of these leads into sales of more than $500,000. Our group is dues-free and non-compete, so you get the highest return on your time investment. We are seeking new members to continue to grow our businesses through referrals, leads and contacts. PalNet meets every Thursday morning from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Please call us before coming—sometimes we meet “on the road” at one of our businesses! To learn if there is an opportunity to promote your business through PalNet or to schedule a visit, contact Jan Sasso at 847-301-3128. www.palnetgroup.com

Ambassador Club
Ambassadors are a group of business professionals, interested in making contacts with new businesses to the community, and networking with loyal Chamber members. Many Ambassadors have found this club mutually beneficial as you have the opportunity to introduce your business to the people you contact.

Women in Business Advisory Forum
WIBAF is an active group of business women who are interested in learning from one another while discussing business-related topics and "burning issues.” Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month, with additional events scheduled periodically. Meetings typically focus on a specific business subject and include a guest speaker. In addition, members also have an opportunity to periodically profile their business in a 12-20 minute presentation. Some featured topics may include marketing, public relations, sales, work/life balance, public speaking and more. WIBAF Facebook page
