ELGIN, IL — Since opening in 1988, Village Profile™ has produced well over 3,400 community publications that have been successfully sponsored, published and delivered to over 1,400 Chambers of Commerce from coast to coast.

To remain the leader in digital Chamber networking innovation, a good part of the Village Profile™ staff’s time is devoted to research and development of technological advances in local, regional and global communications germinating new ideas and monitoring new developments.

It is only through such ingenuity that Chambers of Commerce can enjoy greater benefits, build their memberships, and generate greater non-dues revenues.

For 22 years, Village Profile™ has presented Chambers of Commerce an economic stimulus package with more than $24 million in royalties paid—$14 million in the past eight years alone and paid on time.

Village Profile™ has invested this level of time and resources not only to foster growth in Chamber communications, but also to help set the pace for a thriving business environment and let Chambers offer exclusive benefits to their members that no other publisher can provide.
 
Village Profile™ is an exclusive Chairman’s Circle Platinum Sponsor of the Western Association of Chamber Executives (W.A.C.E.), and proud member and Bronze Sponsor of the American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) association, and member of over 600 local Chambers it currently partners with.

The dedication of Village Profile™ to the Chamber industry brings it to no fewer than 74 sponsored state, regional and national conferences every year as well. By actively participating in the Chamber industry, it can continue to develop the services and publishing programs best suited to Chambers and members’ needs.

Village Profile™ will Pay-Your-Way® to a state, regional, or national Chamber conference in 2010. This exciting new reward program — R.S.V.P.™ — offered exclusively by Village Profile™, gives participating Chambers of Commerce additional royalties (over and above regular publication royalties) for registration to a state, regional or national Chamber conference in 2010, in the form of reimbursement to the Chamber CEO, president or executive directors who attend a certified, industry-related state, regional or national Chamber conference, institute class or college-level courses that advance the Chamber mission.

The R.S.V.P.™ Program is available to all Chambers of Commerce that sign a three-edition agreement with Village Profile™ to publish a membership directory, community profile, map, or lifestyle magazine. Chambers receive a credit equivalent to 1 percent of paid ad sales on each of the three editions.

Entering into a partnership that equally benefits the Chamber, embraces much more than producing a printed magazine or map. Working together, Village Profile™ and its Chamber customers can continue to promote and strengthen the Chamber industry, thus strengthening the business base and economic vitality of large and small communities alike.
