Chamber Members:
On Veterans Day we honor all of those that have served in the United States Armed Forces and especially thank those that gave their lives for this country. Thank You to all of our Chamber members that are veterans, you are appreciated!
The Chamber is closed today, so this was a pre-typed message with just a few quick reminders for what is going on / coming up. We’ll share any and all important updates tomorrow.

Today Begins Tier 2 Mitigations
Region 7 (Will and Kankakee Counties) and 8 (DuPage and Kane Counties) will enter tier 2 of enhanced mitigation measures today. The biggest change from tier 1 to tier 2 is lessening of gatherings from 25 to 10 individuals and seated groups at bar/restaurant establishments from 10 to 6. Additionally, organized group activities now have a limit to lesser of 25 guests or 25% of overall room capacity both indoors & outdoors and group outings are limited to 10 or fewer people. This does not include fitness centers.

Finally, a reminder that our next virtual conference will be on TOMORROW, November 12th. The topic is an extremely important one as all should know by now that by the end of this year it is mandatory for ALL offices to go through anti-sexual harassment training. We have partnered with Marji Swanson from the offices of Mahoney, Silverman, & Cross, LLC to deliver this session that fulfills your requirement. Unfortunately, it does not apply to bars and restaurants as that training is an industry specific one. Webinar will begin at 11 am and last approximately one hour. You may register here:
