Welcome to New Board Member, Jim Emme
We are pleased to announce that Jim Emme has joined the Chamber Board of Directors. Jim has been with NOW Foods since 1995 and  was recently named their President. NOW Foods is a privately held company and continues to experience growth, even during the downturn in the economy.  They are committed to Bloomingdale and currently have 650 employees. 

 

Jim has been a DuPage County resident for 28 years. He is married, has a daughter in college and resides in Glen Ellyn.

 

The Board welcomes Jim and we look forward to his valuable input.   

 

 
The Board Thanks Tom Itrich for Years of Service
Tom Itrich of Huskie Tools is stepping down from the board to spend more time at his home in Florida.  Tom has been a Chamber member since 1995 and a board member since 1998.  Tom's philosophy has always been to encourage and support Chamber activities and to work with the "movers and shakers" of the community.  Though most Chamber members are not prospective customers for Huskie Tools, Tom has always been actively involved in the Chamber and a generous contributor to all our endeavors.  The Bloomingdale Chamber appreciates Tom's exceptional generosity and good-natured character.  We wish Tom the best as he starts a new phase of his life.
