Welcome to XPX Chicago
We’re just getting started but look forward to creating a vibrant community of advisors to privately-held businesses in the Chicago area.
XPX Chicago Meetings
Our programs are designed to increase participatory involvement with member round-table and panel discussions. Why should you participate? Many reasons, but for starters:
- Demonstrate what you bring to the table as you share your expertise
- Spot potential partners among the membership as they display their niche knowledge
- Get to know members more deeply
Roll-up your sleeves and exercise your mind alongside your colleagues and friends!

Volunteers Needed For Our Operating Committees
We are looking for volunteers for our operating committees for events.

Emerging Professional Committee
The Emerging Professional Committee focuses on developing methods and programming to reach out to young professionals looking to further develop their business and leadership skills. Examples of programming includes mentoring with senior level professionals; committee leadership opportunities; networking; and social events, to name a few. For more information contact: Michael Azzaro, Chair - mazzaro@amcombank.com
This is what it entails:
Most committee meetings will be conducted by telephone, and that participation will not be too time burdensome; perhaps only an hour or so a month, although some months could be a little more, and others less. There will be 3-5 members per committee, although we are not limiting the size if many wish to participate. Membership is a good way, without too much time expended, to get to know other XPX members better, and to have a role in the leadership of the organization.

If you are interested, please contact XPX Chicago President, Laura Liss at Laura@LissLamar.com for information.
