CHAIR MESSAGE

Mission Statement “To facilitate, advocate and cultivate opportunities for the Lisle Area Business

Community”

Annette Loritz, Chair

Autumn Greetings!

A sure sign of fall is the annual Lisle Ale Fest, I hope you were able to attend this first taste of fall! Mark your calendars for

Lisle Uncorked, A Wine Event on November 1st.

As the air turns crisper and our family focus turns to autumn activities,

finding spooky Halloween costumes or binge-watching scary movies, it’s

interesting to think of how much we embrace fear this time of year. The

heart-pounding thrill of October fun has lessons many of us can learn

from. Our own apprehension can stop us in our tracks, and prevent us

from personal and professional growth. Leaning into discomfort is the

catalyst for moving us away from where we are now. By stepping outside

of your professional routine, and seeking opportunities out of your

comfort level, you’ll be leaning past what is holding you from the next

thrilling adventure. Inevitably, these activities lead us to things that are

good for personal growth, your company and community. So go ahead,

take the lead on projects, head a committee or volunteer to speak at the

next presentation. What you thought was uncomfortable can be just as

good as a caramel apple.

The Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce has several activities and network-

ing events to help engage you, your business and the community! Join us

for networking at the Business After Hours hosted by Boyce Chiropractic

and celebrate ribbon cuttings at Kristina Irvine – john greene Realtors and

Brammeier Family Dental! Attend a meeting to support the Lisle Area

Chamber, including the Turkey Trot Tune-Up 5K, Government Affairs,

LINCT-Leadership in Networking Committee Team or the Ambassador,

Dinner Dance or Lisle Uncorked committees. There are numerous

opportunities to be involved this month. I hope to see you at one of these

events.

MEMBER APPRECIATION LUNCH & RIBBON CUTTING

greatly appreciated. A big THANK YOU to Aurelios

Pizza Woodridge, Culver’s Downers Grove/Lisle,

DoubleTree by Hilton Lisle Naperville, Maggiano’s Little

business to your fellow Chamber members, clients, and customers. The dates for the 2020

Business After Hours are beginning to be booked. Call the Chamber today to book your 2020

Also if you are a new Chamber member, a Ribbon Cutting is another way to showcase your

business. Would you like to combine both? We can also do a joint Business After Hours/Ribbon

Cutting. Please contact the Chamber if you are interested in hosting one of these events. You

AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT - Kristina Irvine

This month’s featured Ambassador is Kristina Irvine. Kristina is a broker with john greene Realtors. She

has been involved with the Lisle Area Chamber for about 5 months and she feels that they have been

5 really fun months. In addition to being involved with the Ambassador Committee, Kristina is also on the

Ale Fest, Golf Outing and Lisle Uncorked Committees. Kristina is a Broker with john greene Realtors and

she has been in the real estate field for 10 months. As a john greene Broker, Kristina helps people

navigate through one of the most stressful times in their lives...moving. Whether they are buying or

selling, she takes control of the process, while guiding them through making all their decisions. Real Estate

is something that she has wanted to do since she was 15. Kristina woke up with the courage to follow her

dream at the end of last year and she is so glad that she did. Kristina said, “The World is kind to you

when you are where you are supposed to be and the results that I have had have been a great indicator

that I made the right choice.”

Kristina’s passions are her work and karaoke, or singing anywhere else someone will let her. She has 2

nephews–one furry and one human-that take up the rest of her time. She enjoys everything that she gets to do with the Chamber. There is no doubt that being surrounded by great people wo are eager to pitch

in and serve the community will benefit her personally as well as professionally. Her favorite quote is by

Dr. Seuss, “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you

right. Forget about the ones who don’t. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody

said it would be easy. They just promised that it would be worth it.”
