ECCI Awards Gala Celebrates 2023 Accomplishments

Some 150 Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry members and their guests will celebrate our Chamber’s 105th Annual Awards Gala in the President’s Room at Elm West Banquets on March 22.

Since December of 2022, the ECCI Centennial Celebration NFP’s Civic HOF public memorial—a 65-inch TouchPros Touch Wall interactive, touch-screen TV monitor upon which users can view biographies, photographs and video clips of the inductees—has been on display on the second floor of the Elmhurst Public Library.
