June Business Connect Luncheon Recap
We had a fantastic turnout for our June Business Connect Luncheon on Tuesday, June 9th, hosted at Downtown Social, with more than 30 Chamber members in attendance.
Our featured speaker, Illinois State Representative Jed Davis, delivered timely and insightful updates following the conclusion of the spring legislative session in Springfield. Attendees gained valuable perspective on recent developments and how they may impact the local business community.

A special thank you to our monthly hosts for sharing updates about their businesses and what’s ahead:
- Alyssa Smith, Belladonna Media & Marketing Group
- Nina Swistara, Grace Holistic Center for Education

We appreciate your contributions and the way you help keep our members informed and connected!
We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to our Annual Business Leaders:
Harmony Aesthetics, Providence Bank & Trust, The Barber Battalion, and The Chocolate Shoppe.
Your continued investment in our luncheons makes these gatherings possible, helping foster meaningful relationships and strengthen our Chamber community.
