November 2024

Dear Member,

We hope this message finds you well. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of the Hillside Berkeley Chamber of Commerce has chosen to close our doors as of 11/15/2024.  Due to declining membership, participation and challenging economic conditions, we found it difficult to sustain our operations and fulfill our mission.

Over the years, our chamber has been dedicated to supporting local businesses, fostering community relationships, and promoting economic growth in the Hillside Berkeley area.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our members, partners, and the community for their support throughout our journey. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many dedicated individuals and organizations.  To ensure that your business continues to participate in local business and governmental affairs, there are several Chambers that are close in proximity to ours that could be a great fit for your business. 

They are:

Bellwood Chamber of Commerce – (708) 397-6646, bellwoodchamber@gmail.com

West Chester Chamber of Commerce – (708) 240-8400, info@westchesterchamber.org

West Suburban Chamber of Commerce – (708) 387-7550, membership@wscci.org

We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition during this closure. If you have any questions or need assistance during this time, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you once again for your support and understanding. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Your 2024 Board of Directors:

Stephanie Bertelsen, President
Betsy D’Onofrio, Past President
Carol Garner, Treasurer
Diane Salemi, Board Member
Angela Thompson, Board Member
Marvin Watson, Board Member
