Ten years ago, John Jordan walked into a Crossroads Chamber meeting for the first time. Now, he sits as the chairman of the board. Jordan joined Crossroads Chamber in 2014 shortly after starting CertaPro Painters of Northwest Indiana. He knew he needed to put effort into networking to make his business successful, so he decided to join a few local chambers of commerce. While he enjoyed others, he felt particularly drawn to Crossroads Chamber.

With just a few short weeks left in the year, Crossroads Chamber gathered the Region’s business community to celebrate at Lighthouse Restaurant for its Annual Holiday Installation & Awards Luncheon. The luncheon, a longstanding tradition for the Chamber, saw Crossroads celebrate a historic year where it completed a massive rebrand, welcomed 100 new members, and cut the ribbon on 36 new buildings. The Chamber also recognized a handful of special individuals with different awards to commemorate their work and achievements.

On Saturday, November 11, the Crossroads Chamber held its 19th annual Gala and largest fundraiser of the year. With it being a larger-scale event, there had to be an amazing theme. This year’s theme was 80s prom night. Many in attendance dressed up in their fun 80s-themed clothes and sang and danced the night away.

The Crossroads Chamber strives to help the businesses in our community grow and thrive, and sometimes that means taking a moment to look at areas that need improving. On Thursday, November 9, Crossroads held its second annual Women’s Brunch. Influential women from all over the Region gathered together to learn more about the inequalities women face in the workplace, share their stories of resilience, and empower one another to go out and be instigators of change.
