Make the most of your Chamber membership! Connect and Share, Grow into Tommorow, Plug into the Community, and Celebrate our Yesterday with events sponsored by your Greenville IL Chamber of Commerce!
Through its signature business programs, the Chamber seeks to strengthen Greenville and Bond County leaders and promote economic and community growth.
Each First Thursday of the month (we skip Summer) there is food, beverages, drawings, giveaways, and mingling with your fellow Chamber member business owners and managers and their guests at these come-and-go “happy hour” type gatherings. This is your chance to not only promote your business but perhaps pick up a new customer. It’s not really “Business” but it is really fun. Join us!
Join us for lunch each Third Wednesday, eating catered food and learning something new from local business leaders and organizations at this Greenville SMART Initiative in cooperation with the Greenville Chamber. Lunch is $12 (pay at the door).
Quarterly update on the state of Greenville from our community leaders, meet the Chamber of Commerce Board members and those new to Greenville’s business community. All are welcome and Chamber membership is not required.
The Greenville Chamber of Commerce conducts ribbon cuttings for new or relocated businesses, plus those that have undergone a major expansion or renovation. Chamber membership is not required to host a Ribbon Cutting.
While the Chamber’s focus is supporting our business and non-profit members, we also see great value in offering a wide variety of recognitions, recreations, and celebrations to the community.
Created in 1994 to honor an outstanding Greenville citizen, the recipient must have demonstrated personal sacrifice, involvement, innovation, and community leadership to promote the success of Greenville. The award was named for Gerald Turley, a former mayor. Nominations are typically accepted in January/February and the program honoring the year’s recipient generally takes place in April/May.
The spring Cardinals Baseball Lunch hosted annually by Donnewald Distributing features an honored guest speaker with a connection to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball organization. Enjoy a great meal followed by a Q & A session and autographs. Over the years, the Chamber has welcomed Cardinal greats such as Brad Thompson, Bengie Molina and Polo Ascencio, Ken Oberkfell, Al “The Mad Hungarian” Hrabosky, Kenny Reitz, and Jack Clark.
Join us for a fun weekend and show off your golf skills while competing for bragging rights as the Chamber’s Jan Nevinger Labor Day Golf Tournament Champion! The Labor Day Tournament is a three day individual stroke play event with a seniors division. Visit Greenville Country Club in person or on the web for more!
Join the witches brew of fun in downtown Greenville for an evening of games, shopping, prizes, food, and spirits! All Greenville businesses are welcome to participate by providing a game, give away, or by bringing your local made or sourced products to sell or share. There might be a costume contest or two, so make your optional weird sister or eerie ghoul outfit amazing!
Deck out the trunk of your SUV or the bed of your truck with Halloween decorations and park your ride in downtown Greenville for the Chamber’s annual Trunk or Treat—the perfect way to pass out candy or other trinkets to costumed kids and get the name of your business or service out to their parents! All Greenville businesses are welcome to participate. Trick or treating this way is the future... kids may never go door-to-door again!
The Greenville Chamber of Commerce sponsors an annual Come Home For Christmas event in concert with Shop Small Saturday the Saturday following Thanksgiving.
