The Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce

09/16/2026

During Chamber Month, we’re sharing more of the story behind the Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce through the people who experience it firsthand.

The value of Chamber involvement can look different for everyone. Sometimes it is the relationship that leads to a referral, resource, client, or friendship. Other times, it is the opportunity to learn something new and bring that knowledge back into your business or organization.

In this month’s Investor Perspectives, Joe Fricano of Midwest Insurance Group and Maggie Uravich of Immanuel Lutheran Church share two very different experiences, but both reflect the impact that can grow from getting involved, showing up, and taking advantage of the opportunities around you.

Swipe through to hear their perspectives in their own words.

More connection. More opportunity. More impact.

Inaugural Balloon Glow

What a way to begin.

A special thank-you to all of our sponsors who helped make the inaugural Balloon Glow possible: Fox Communities Credit Union, Wisconsin Windigo, Forage Kitchen, Connect Chiropractic, Graze Craze Brookfield, The Corners of Brookfield, and Kelly Liebl Ebbole, Strategic Focus Realty.

The inaugural Balloon Glow brought an incredible crowd to the Waukesha County Expo Center for a free evening of glowing hot air balloons, live entertainment, family activities, food trucks, and community connection.

For a first-time event, the turnout and response were remarkable, and we are grateful to everyone who came out, spent the evening with us, shared their photos and feedback, and helped make the Balloon Glow such a memorable night.

An event like this takes many hands to bring to life. Thank you to our sponsors, partners, volunteers, balloon teams, entertainers, food trucks, and everyone who helped make the evening possible.

Now, we’re looking back at some of our favorite moments.

At dusk, tethered hot air balloons will glow against the evening sky, transforming the Expo Grounds into the centerpiece of this first-ever celebration.
