Overview

Mission

The Champaign County Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to fostering a thriving business community by connecting local businesses, organizations, and individuals.

What it reported doing in 2025

Safety council: goal is to provide important, safety & wellness information in monthly sessions for our members, with the goal of reducing accidents & claims and creating bwc premium savings & discounts for employers. Monthly classes and workshops in work place safety are offered to area businesses. Participation qualifies businesses for reductions in workers compensation premiums. During the year, bwc did not give any discounts, due to bwc refunds given directly to the companies. Monthly safety council sessions were still held for members.
