HISTORY
OF THE WEST SUBURBAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY
More than one hundred years ago, the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WSCCI) was created as a not-for-profit organization to support and provide resources for local businesses. First called the La Grange Businessmen’s Association, years later it became the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and later “Industry” was added to its name. The addition was made to better reflect the organization’s members.
Over the years WSCCI expanded its reach to include eight local municipalities--Brookfield, Hodgkins, Indian Head Park, La Grange, La Grange Park, McCook, Western Springs, and Willow Springs. Today, the Chamber has members in 65 different zip codes. Together this area makes up more than 100 square miles and has a population of more than 70,000 individuals.
These vibrant communities work together to offer economic prosperity, outstanding educational and business opportunities for people of all ages, a high level of health care, superior recreational activities and a rich diversity of entertainment, civic organizations, and cultural attractions--across the entire region. It is on one of Chicagoland’s most desirable and attractive areas in which to live, work, visit, and raise a family.
These member communities are rich with transportation and land use assets that include Metra stations, bicycle trails, bus routes, rail-to-truck intermodal facilities, and transload facilities. The region is easily accessible from every direction. Interstate 290, Interstate 55, Interstate 355, and the Tri-State Tollway 294 provide easy auto and truck access. O’Hare International Airport, Midway Airport and the Chicago Loop are all about 30 minutes away.
The area is fortunate to have many outstanding civic and community organizations which contribute to make the west suburban Cook County area a better, more stimulating place to live and work. There are well over 100 local community-based organizations including Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions clubs, as well as local VFW and American Legion chapters.
Each of its individual communities offers a wide range of recreational opportunities for residents, from preschoolers to retired citizens, through their individual park districts. In addition, the region has several health clubs, tennis clubs, golf courses, two country clubs and county bike paths. The I & M Canal, a man-made waterway that was transformed into an urban recreational park, runs through the community of Willow Springs. The area is also blessed with an extensive network of county forest preserves.
The area is served by public high schools such as Lyons Township High School, Riverside-Brookfield High School, Argo-Summit High School. Each of the elementary schools feeds into these schools and many of the schools are Blue Ribbon winners. There are numerous private elementary schools, as well as Nazareth Academy.
There are more than 50 places of worship in the West Suburban region. They represent many all the major religious groups and smaller denominations. Daycare programs are available through the local churches and through privately-owned facilities, many of whom are members of the WSCCI. In addition, the west suburban Cook County area has a wealth of social service programs to meet the needs of local employees and employers.
The West Suburban Chamber of Commerce & Industry has kicked off its 2024 Legislative Breakfast Series, continuing its long-standing tradition of connecting community members with elected officials and other government stakeholders.
In February, it hosted the Cook County States Attorney Candidates Forum. Previous topics have included information on the local government distributive fund, the impact of
crime and the Safe-T Act, roundtables with local political reporters during election years, and forums with members of the United States Congress.
These well planned, well attended events reflect both interest in and understanding of legislative issues. These events are integral to community members whether it be from a personal or professional perspective. Some provide a chance to get better acquainted
with legislators, listen to legislators’ concerns, and ask questions to legislators. Others are important because they open the dialogue in the community to allow for a greater awareness of local business owners’ interests and concerns.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for these events that include recognition at the podium, dedicated e-communications, press releases and company logos at the events.
AN EVENT TO HONOR TEACHERS AND THEIR ROLE
For nearly 60 years, hundreds of new local teachers, administrators, and staff meet and gather as part of the annual West Suburban Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Annual New Teachers and Administrators Welcome Breakfast. The event honors teachers and the pivotal role they play in the importance of education, the business world, and greater community. Each year at the event, the chamber showcases new and innovative programs or resources that benefit students in the community.
Attendees come from area elementary districts including Western Springs 101, La Grange 102, La GrangeCountryside 105, Highlands 106 and Pleasantdale 107, Lyons Township High School District 204, Riverside Brookfield High School District 208, local private schools, and community colleges.
In past years, speakers have touched on the importance of emotional learning, preparing teachers on strategies to approach the school year, education plans, and guiding and inspiring teachers to remember they are valuable members of the community.
Local community members, business leaders, and veteran teachers are welcome to attend the event. The event is free to new teachers thanks to local sponsors.
As local storefronts decorate to reflect the holiday season and family and friends gather at local restaurants to share in the holiday spirit, the member communities of the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce & Industry gather each December to discuss the past year and outline what they hope to accomplish in the coming year at the annual One Grand Holiday Lunch.
This event is a chance for local and regional businesses and community members who are hard at work each day to bring prosperity to the member communities a chance to celebrate the season and gather. Regardless of member status, all community members are welcome to the event.
Sponsorships are available for this event.
HONORING YOUNG PROFESSIONALS

This initiative and event is designed to honor 30 of the region’s young professionals who live or work in the WSCCI region and who are making a deep impact on their local communities. These individuals come from all types of industries and organizations, but they all share a passion for investing in others and their community.

Village President Ernest Millsap • Email: emillsap@villageofhodgkins.org • Phone: (708) 579-6700
Founded in 1896, the village got its name from the owner of the Kimball and Cobb Stone Quarry – Jefferson Hodgkins. Hodgkins later sold the quarry to Vulcan Materials Company which today is the nation’s largest producer of construction aggregates – primarily crushed
stone, sand, and gravel. Beginning in the mid-1960s, the Santa Fe Railroad led to the growth of other businesses to the area. More recently, the addition of new businesses including car dealerships, large, big box anchor stores, and the Quarry Shopping Mall has led to the creation of new jobs to the area and solid tax revenue for the community.
Today, with a population of about 1,500, Hodgkins is home to a hard-working, tight knit community who work together, help each other, and come together during times of need to create a beautiful family-centered community that lives out its motto every day--small town, big heart.
Hodgkins is governed by an elected President and six Trustees. The Village operates its own police, public works, and water departments. It also is home to the Hodgkins Park District which offers a large community center and a myriad of activities. In addition, construction is about to begin on a new 10,500 square-foot Hodgkins Public Library that will provide the community with a state-of-theart library.
Students in Hodgkins are part of LaGrange School District 105 and attend Hodgkins Elementary and Gurrie Middle School. At the high school level, students attend Lyons Townership High School District 204.
