The Chamber's mission is to support and strengthen the uniqueness and vitality of the Andersonville business community. As one of the few urban neighborhoods in Chicago where small businesses predominate and thrive, Andersonville is a rare and exceptional place. The Chamber markets the neighborhood as a diverse urban community, where quaint cafés sit next to an assortment of tempting international restaurants and delightful specialty gift shops.

To that end, the Chamber offers an array of services to its members, including:

• Cooperative advertising, in local newspapers and radio, that allow members to obtain discounts through group purchasing
• The Andersonville Business Map, which lists all Chamber businesses and their locations, distributed annually to 20,000 residents and visitors
• Special events such as Midsommarfest, the summer street fair that draws nearly 40,000 visitors each year, the Taste of Andersonville Dinner Dance, and holiday events such as Julmarknad and the St. Lucia Festival of Lights
• Networking opportunities at our twice annual membership meetings and semi-monthly seminars on a variety of issues of concern to small business owners
• Money saving opportunities with Chamber discounts through our Member-to-Member Discount Program
