CHAMBER WELCOME: A Message from the Executive Director

Celebrating 96 Years of Community and Commerce in Park Ridge

Dear Park Ridge Community,

Welcome to this year’s Community Guide — a celebration of who we are and what we’ve built together.

As the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce commemorates its 96th anniversary, we take pride in honoring our legacy while looking ahead to a future filled with promise. For nearly a century, the Chamber has stood as a cornerstone of connection, collaboration and economic vitality in our city. This milestone is not only a reflection of our enduring mission — to support, advocate for and empower local businesses — but also a tribute to the people who make Park Ridge a truly exceptional place to live, work and visit.

Within these pages, you’ll discover a wealth of resources: information about our diverse local businesses, essential services, exciting events and opportunities to engage with our vibrant community. Whether you’re a long-time resident, a new neighbor or just passing through, we hope this guide enhances your experience in Park Ridge and helps you feel connected to the heart of our city.

Our Chamber’s story is rooted in resilience, shaped by the dedication of our members and fueled by a shared belief in the power of community. Over the decades, we’ve witnessed change and growth, yet our core values have remained constant: fostering innovation, promoting prosperity and ensuring that every voice has a place at the table.

As we mark this important anniversary, we do so with gratitude and vision. We are committed to continuing our work — building stronger partnerships, supporting entrepreneurship and enhancing the quality of life for all who call Park Ridge home.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support and engagement inspire us every day. Here’s to the next 96 years of community, collaboration and continued success.

With warmest regards,

Jackie
