BARRINGTON LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
325 N. Hough Street, Barrington IL. 60010
Phone: 847.381.2525
“Taking The Lead So
Our Members Succeed”
History: Created 35 years
ago, the Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce
is the premier Chamber serving the entire
Barrington Area. Our mission is to promote
a dynamic business environment for the benefit
of a vibrant business community.
Who We Are: The Barrington
Area Chamber of Commerce is a not for profit
organization funded by over 700 members
uniting hundreds of business and professional
firms- a powerful reference to business,
government, education and service.
Chamber members are a diverse group in
the Barrington business community. They
believe, that active participation in the
political process assures that the voice
of business is heard.
Improving Barrington Government:
Government actions often have a significant
impact on the business community. If chambers
do not take stands on critical issues, who
will represent members’ views on the
area’s business climate and economic
growth?
The Division of Government Affairs shall
utilize the Chamber’s resources to
influence governmental decisions. The Chamber
shall continuously foster working relationships
with legislators, administrators and their
staffs through invitations to Chamber functions
and regular meetings with officials. The
Chamber shall continuously communicate its
pro-business position to the general public
as well as to elected officials. The Chamber
is committed to improving our local and
state governments by electing leaders that
understand the need to improve our economy
and free the entrepreneurial spirit.
Political Education: The
Chamber strives to educate voters about
positions that candidates take on issues
affecting our economy. Chamber members are
kept up to date on the opportunities to
support pro-business candidates in their
area. Chamber members are provided voting
records, candidate questionnaires and other
information to help them and their employees
cast educated votes in elections.
Affiliations: The Chamber
shall maintain an affiliation with other
organizations as a resource for our members:
Illinois State Chamber, Illinois P.A.C.,
Illinois Retail Merchant’s Association,
Illinois Manufacturer’s Association,
and the US Chamber.
We Are The Voice Of Business…
A Voice Of One Whisper…
A Voice Of Many Influences…
