The Green Oaks, Libertyville, Mundelein, Vernon Hills (GLMV) Chamber of Commerce would like to wish all Happy New Year!
Despite the many challenges and an unbelievable year to say the least, GLMV members continue to lead the business community. Like many of our businesses, the GLMV Chamber has swiveled, pivoted, zoomed, and adapted throughout the pandemic, as we work diligently for our members.
As we now move ahead, we encourage all to get involved and stay connected via our numerous programs, activities and events held hybrid, virtual, live streamed, and in person, as possible, said GLMV President Scott Adams. We also have many more exciting programs planned for 2021 to assist our business community.
