In addition to the Chicago neighborhood chambers and suburban chambers, there are chambers, of course, all around the state.
Lisa WeitzelGUEST
And some of the bigger areas have larger chambers, as one would imagine Springfield, Bloomington Normal, which is the McCain County Chamber, the Champaign County Chamber.

And then all the different towns that make up the rest of the state all have their own chambers.
Lisa WeitzelGUEST
And it's a pretty diverse population, but we all share the same struggles and successes.
