Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce 110th Annual Dinner
Celebrating 110 Years of Community Leadership & Local Impact

This year marks a major milestone for the Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce- 110 years of championing our local businesses, strengthening partnerships, and building a vibrant community. We invite you to join us for an evening of celebration, reflection, and inspiration at our Annual Dinner, the Chamber’s premier event of the year.

Keynote Speaker: Sean Considine
From the Field to the Frontline of Community

Our keynote speaker, Sean Considine, embodies the very essence of this year’s theme: the power of coming home and giving back. A Byron, IL native, Sean’s incredible journey took him from small-town beginnings to a career in the NFL, including a Super Bowl victory in 2012. But it’s what he chose to do after football that truly defines his legacy.

Sean returned to his hometown to raise his family, serve his community, and mentor the next generation. Now working as an LPL financial planner at Byron Bank and coaching football alongside a lifelong friend at Byron High School, his story is a compelling reminder that true impact often starts right where you are.

Sean will share insights on personal success, the value of staying grounded, and how each of us, through board service, elected office, volunteering, or local leadership, can shape the future of our communities.

This is the year to reconnect. To recommit. To get involved.
Help us honor the past 110 years and look boldly toward the future.
