So glad to attend and support this event! Bravo Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce!!
Yesterday was the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce's State Legislative Luncheon, and let me tell you, the energy in that room was electric! We gathered 200 of our area's business and community leaders for an in-depth conversation with state elected officials about priorities for the state and our region. Businesses submitted questions and topics of interest ahead of time. During the discussion, businesses heard how some of the discussions in Springfield may impact them and were able to see the collaboration of our legislators. There are many people to thank for yesterday! Thank you to: ? Our Title Sponsor - METROPOLITAN AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF PEORIA ? Our elected officials who took the stage - Senator Dave Koehler, State Representative Jehan Gordon Booth, Representative Travis Weaver, and Senator Li Arellano Jr. ? The wonderful moderator - Alex Sierra ? Our Collaborative Partners at our neighboring Chambers - Amy Whiting-McCoy, Rick Swan, Larry Ivory, Christell Frausto, and Kim Litwiller ? Thanks to all of our members for joining the conversation! There will be much more of this type of programming to come!

Kicking off Small Business Week supporting entrepreneurs from Pekin and around the region!
Rural Small Business Advocate ?? Growing small-town success stories?? Can be found hiking, kayaking, or enjoying a local music venue????♀???
Tomorrow is the big day! Last year, Kathleen Kelly, Leigh Ann Brown, and I had this crazy idea to create a local small business conference. Our idea was to collaborate with local small business resource providers and invite entrepreneurs from our region for a day of education and connection. It rolled around in the back of our minds until this past February when we decided "let's do it!" We brought in partners who have the same passion for small businesses that we do and got to work. ( Amy Whiting-McCoy with the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce . Eric Sampson and Chris Youngmark of the Illinois SBDC at Bradley University. Matt Fick with the City of Delavan. Kim Litwiller with the Morton Economic Development Council. SmartStart Business Development.) Tomorrow, we will host 50 local small business owners at the inaugural SmartStart Small Business Conference. Our goal is that they leave the conference knowing they are not alone in their small business journey. We want them to get plugged into our vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and the resources available to help them succeed. So, here's to a fantastic day tomorrow and hopes that our crazy idea will have a lasting impact on our small business community.

THE PEKIN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL HOST THE 4 TH OF JULY HONOR AMERICA CELEBRATION FIREWORKS DISPLAY NEAR PEKIN MEMORIAL STADIUM ON JULY 4, 2024. Pekin, IL- The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the continuation of the 4th of July “Honor America Celebration” fireworks display held at Pekin Memorial Stadium this summer. The Honor America Celebration is funded by members of the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, the Pekin business community, and the donations from community members. ***Due to construction in and around Pekin Memorial Stadium, the stadium will be closed to spectators in 2024 and 2025. The Arena Parking lot will be used for VIP seating for sponsor ticket holders, wheelchair accessible seating, and a free General Admission area. Vehicles will not be allowed in this area. *** The display begins at nightfall on July 4th with a rain date the following evening. Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Amy McCoy states, “We are proud to offer this event to our community, and we could not do so without the support of our sponsors. The Honor America Celebration is a hallmark of our community. While it will look a little different for the next couple of years, we pledge to treat our guests to a fantastic show!” Today we launch a fundraising campaign that will run throughout March, an effort to raise $30,000 to support this event and specifically the fireworks display. With continued increases in the cost of fireworks, community sponsorships are needed to continue the Honor America Celebration into its 76th year. The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce accepts business sponsorships on an annual basis to fund the display. To contribute, visit https://lnkd.in/gkBrrfcF. In addition, community members may contribute online at www.pekinchamber.com, send via Venmo @PekinChamber, or by mailing a check to Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, 402 Court Street, Pekin, IL 61554. Campaign updates will be released each Friday in March.
