The Voice of Evanston Business

One of the chief roles of The Evanston Chamber of Commerce is to provide effective advocacy services for its 650 member companies. This includes educating and keeping members informed about business and public policies that impact the local business climate.

Depending on the issue, The Evanston Chamber's expert Governmental Affairs staff works hard on behalf of the individual businesses, groups of businesses with similar attributes, or the business community at-large. Through staff and membership involvement, The Chamber persuasively shapes business and public policy to make Evanston a more hospitable climate for growth and economic development.
