Industry Councils offer a focused way to connect with peers who work in your same field. Created by the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce in response to member feedback, these councils bring professionals together to build relationships, share insight, and support business growth through meaningful collaboration and business referrals. 

Each Industry Council provides: 

• One in-person, guided networking or discussion event each year 

• A dedicated group email for ongoing peer connection 

• Name and company listed in the Industry Council directory on the NACC website 

There are no required monthly meetings and no additional participation fees. Applications are accepted year-round on a rolling basis. Participation is open to NACC member businesses and organizations and is limited to professionals actively working within the selected industry. 

Non-members are welcome to attend the annual in-person Industry Council networking event. The added value of joining a council is the year-round visibility and continued connection with peers within your profession.  

With 12 Industry Councils, NACC offers opportunities to connect with peers who are interested in shared learning, meaningful relationships, and thoughtful dialogue around the challenges and opportunities within their industry
