The Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce (ILBCC) would love to extend an invitation for membership with our organization.
We understand that you have many options when selecting potential resources for your business growth. If you are seeking an organization that is committed to the growth, development and success of your business, the ILBCC is that organization.
The Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce understands that in order to have a strong economic environment you must have a strong community. The Chamber’s goal is to work toward reducing economic disparities through the support and commitment of its members, volunteers and committees. The Chamber is proud to host events throughout the year to help support the community.
As the 2020-2021 Chamber President, I am honored to work alongside our dedicated Board who all share the same vision, business growth and strengthening the Black community.
