The 2012 Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase was a big success. This is the Chamber's largest networking event of the year with over 1,000 attendees. It's a great place to network, create new relationships, spread the word about your business and see what products and services the region has to offer. We hope to see you next year.

Our monthly Characteristics of Leadership video series continues with an interview with Dr. Grenita Lathan, District 150 Superintendent.  She talks about the difficulties of leadership in the education arena and shares tips on how to be an effective leader in Greater Peoria. 

Regional leaders held a press conference to deliver results from the Greater Peoria Economic Scorecard created by The Heartland Partnership. The region scores excellent when it comes to economic performance, innovation, people and livability. The scorecard provides a baseline measurement so we can better understand how we perform and how we rate compared to regions we consider our competitors and regions we aspire to be like.
