Meet The Source’s 2024 Referral Partners

The Cook County Small Business Source is pleased to announce its selection of Referral Partners for 2024. Over 35 organizations will serve as Referral Partners through Nov. 1, 2024.

Referral Partners are Cook County nonprofit business-facing organizations with a substantial footprint in suburban Cook County that connect businesses to no-cost advising, a calendar of events and other resources. Cook County utilizes its own corporate funds to support Referral Partners.

The Polish American Chamber of Commerce, which includes executive director Bogdan Pukszta (left), will serve as a 2024 Referral Partner with The Source. The chamber has partnered with The Source in the past, with Pukszta celebrating the 2023 Source Grant with Cook County Commissioner Bridget Degnen in February 2024.
