About LW

Annual Dues are owed at the beginning of a new term (Post Election Night). Payment options are credit card or by check.

Our Guiding Principals

The purpose of Little Wheels is for Principals and C-Suite executives within the Chicago Electrical Industry to develop relationships outside the standard networking events. Confidentiality and discretion are essential as the goal is not about trying to sell someone products but get to know one another.

  • The first rule of Little Wheels—you do not talk about Little Wheels

  • The second rule about Little Wheels—you do not talk about Little Wheels

  • The third rule about Little Wheels—what happens in Little Wheels, stays in the Little Wheels

Background & History

The Little Wheels Club of Chicago was organized to promote better understanding between wheels in the Electrical Industry. Members are those persons, who by blood relationship or marriage, are under the supervision and control of a Big Wheel for an undetermined period of servitude.
