May Business of the Month

Congratulations to the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, the May Oswego Economic Development Commission Business of the Month. Run by long-time President & CEO Angie Hibben, the Chamber’s mission is to promote the growth and prosperity of its members by connecting them to resources, relationships and value-added benefits to foster a successful business community.

Established May 14, 1984, the Chamber is also celebrating its 40th anniversary. The Chamber has grown to serve over 500 members and has organized several long-running events, including Fox Fall Fest, to promote businesses in Oswego and beyond. In addition to the tremendous partnership with the Village and the Oswegoland Park District, the Chamber annually awards scholarships to students at Oswego high schools and Waubonsee Community College. A new scholarship has been added to aid students pursuing trade careers. Kudos to the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce for their ongoing dedication and support for our businesses and residents. We celebrate their 40 years of impact and growth within our village.

The Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce is located at 25 E. Jackson in Oswego. Learn more about the Chamber at www.oswegochamber.org.
