Brad Whitacre
President & CEO, Chamber630
Building business since 1951.
Meet Brad
Brad Whitacre leads Chamber630 as President & CEO after serving as Chairman of the Board. He knows what local business owners need because he is one: Brad owns The Whitacre Insurance Group in Downers Grove, an agency licensed in 13 states.
At his agency, Brad takes great pride in the quality of service his team provides, whether a client needs help filing a claim, processing a payment, or just understanding their coverage. His approach is simple: know your clients, know your business, and always be ready to help, no matter how big, small, or unique the need.
Brad also gives back as a mentor in the Downers Grove North High School Incubator/Entrepreneur Program, helping the next generation of local business leaders get their start.
