On Thursday, October 16, 2025, the Chamber held its Fall New Member Chair's Breakfast at Parke Regency Hotel & Conference Center presented by the Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program. The event welcomed new and existing members for a morning of networking and exploring how to maximize your chamber membership through benefits and programs.

Attendees heard presentations from Phil Lopez, Marketing Coordinator for the Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program; Brooke Fenske, the Chamber’s Director of Membership Development; Chamber Board Chair Meghan O’Neal-Rogozinski, owner of Axis 360 Commercial Real Estate Specialists; and Charlie Moore, President and CEO of the Chamber.

“We do business with people we know, and people we trust,” said Moore.

The event concluded with each member introducing themselves and sharing what their business or organization provides in McLean County, followed by an opportunity for attendees to visit program tables and engage in further discussion.
