Welcome from John Hurlbut,
EAC Chairman of the Board of Directors

On behalf of the Elgin Area Chamber (EAC), I would like to welcome you to our web site. EAC is the largest professional organization of its kind in Kane County. While our principle activities are within the Elgin City limits, we also service businesses and communities in the surrounding area. EAC is people...people just like you who realize that through EAC they can accomplish collectively what no one can do individually.

While you are looking through our site, it is our hope that you find as much inspiration from the strength of our member business community as we have. We invite you to browse through our most popular sections: Member Benefits, Business Search, Calendar of Events, Job's Board and Economic Development.

When you become a member of EAC, you'll learn that EAC becomes an extension to your business - a place where you can multiply your resources, enhance your promotional capabilities, strengthen your voice and gather the "must know" people such as potential customers, business partners, and workforce subject matter experts right into your network circle.

In addition, you will find a unique perk of EAC is that we also provide award winning economic development services. Under the EAC umbrella and in partnership with the City of Elgin and the Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) is the Elgin Development Group (EDG). The EDG is continually producing new opportunities to retain our current businesses and industries, attract new entities and strengthen our workforce.

Our economic development services are confidential, free, and open to both members and non-members. To stay informed about the latest Elgin economic development news be sure to visit and subscribe to our EDG Blog. Note, we blog for quality not quantity!
