Byron Area Chamber of Commerce
Serving Byron's business community since 1958 — connecting members, advocating for growth, and bringing the community together year-round.
"The Byron Area Chamber of Commerce exists to promote the economic vitality of the Byron area, to foster a favorable business climate, and to enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses in our community."
For over 65 years, the Byron Area Chamber has been the connective tissue of Byron's business community. From ribbon cuttings and annual awards to ByronFest and local advocacy, the Chamber is where Byron's business leaders show up for each other — and for the community they serve.
Michelle leads the Chamber's strategic direction, oversees community programming, and serves as the primary liaison between Byron's business community and local government. She also directs ByronFest and represents Byron on regional and civic boards.
Sheila manages day-to-day Chamber operations, member services, and event coordination. She is your first point of contact for membership inquiries, event questions, and Chamber business. Reach her at (815) 234-5500 or office@byronchamber.com.
The Chamber is governed by an elected Board of Directors representing a cross-section of Byron's business and professional community.
The Chamber organizes Byron's signature annual events including ByronFest, ChiliFest, Miracle on 2nd Street, the Annual Golf Play Day, the Wine Dinner, the Annual Awards Banquet, and the Byron Rocks 5K. We host ribbon cuttings for new and expanding businesses, publish the Byron Community Guide, and maintain the Business Directory for the greater Byron area.
Beyond events, the Chamber advocates for policies that support a strong local economy, connects members with networking and visibility opportunities, and serves as the front door for businesses looking to establish roots in Byron.
Membership starts at $175/year. Get connected, get visible, and get involved in everything Byron has to offer.
