Serve on the Board of Directors

Board members play a crucial role in decision-making and Chamber governance, help set strategic direction and priorities, advocate for business and community development, and build strong relationships with fellow local leaders.

Applicants must have been Lombard Chamber members in good standing for at least one year. Board terms are two consecutive years, with an option to extend for another two years or move to the Executive Committee and extend the term another two years. Meetings are held in person once a month at the Chamber office, additional meetings may be called by the Board Chair, and each Board member chairs or co-chairs an event committee.
