Rae Rupp Srch has been a lifelong resident and activist  in Villa Park.  Her  countless hours of volunteerism for numerous charities and organizations has made her an ICON in the community.  Her  contributions to  the Easter Seals, School  Districts, Elmhurst Hospital, Kiwanis, Tri-Town Y,  and the Chamber of Commerce have been a valuable asset to each of the organizations she serves.  

Dani Brink joined the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce in January 2012 to get more involved with the Village of Villa Park. She believes businesses truly are the backbone of the community, and the chamber is a great way to help them reach their goals.
