Get to Know Your Members Only Section!

The Members Only section of the Chamber website provides Members with a wide array of features to facilitate taking full advantage of your membership. Recently, a Members Only Tutorial was added to the Chamber website to help Members understand how to utilize various features.

Through the Members Only section, you will find the opportunity to update your Chamber profile and upload a logo to add to your directory listing on our website. Posting a job to our website, downloading the “Proud Member” logo, paying open invoices, registering for events and adding a coupon can all be done here as well.

Another feature, that is little known to most Members and incredibly valuable, is the Member Directory area. Unlike the Member Directory accessible from the homepage, the Members Only Member Directory allows Members to search for individuals within businesses or organizations. Often times during networking events, such as the General Membership Luncheon or Business After Hours, Members will meet an individual but may not obtain a business card and want to connect with them upon returning to the office. In this case, Members may log on to the Members Only section and search for the individual by first name, last name, or organization through the Member Directory.

Take a moment to visit the Members Only section at www.naperville.net or view our online Members Only Tutorial. If you need your username and password, please call the Chamber of Commerce at (630) 355-4141, or contact the Website Coordinator, Ryan Foster at (630) 355-4141 ext. 1338
