In Littleton, investment doesn’t always come in the form of big developments or national brands. Sometimes, it begins with a few local business owners gathered over coffee, talking about how to strengthen the city they love.
That’s how the Littleton Business Chamber began in 2017. Business leaders believed local owners needed a stronger voice, rooted in real-world experience. After a season of learning and exploration, a reboot in 2023 gave the Chamber fresh momentum, and it recently surpassed 300 members, reaching a new level of visibility and influence.
At the center of that growth is Executive Director Korri Lundock, who will retire this spring after helping mold the Chamber into a respected, hyper-local advocate for business.
A third-generation Littletonian, Lundock understands the city’s DNA. Her parents were business owners, and she grew up walking downtown and spending time in local parks. That deep connection informs her steady approach to leadership. She believes in growth, but not growth at the expense of identity.
“Most Littleton businesses are mom-and-pops just trying to find a way,” she says. “We can’t forget who we are.”
The Chamber’s mission is simple: support small businesses across the city. It is intentionally focused on business, not political, and not an economic development agency. As Lundock explains, “Economic Development brings businesses into the city. The Chamber keeps them going – and growing.”
The Chamber serves as a voice for business owners in conversations with city leadership, and its board, made up primarily of small business owners, brings credibility and relatability. “If we keep one business afloat, it’s worth it,” Lundock says. “Our job is done.”
Under her leadership, the Chamber has prioritized collaboration over competition. The Restaurant Committee is a standout example with owners who share best practices and support one another through challenges. “All ships rise,” Lundock says proudly.
Offering other examples, the Chamber partners with nonprofits, encouraging stability and succession planning and helping them operate in sustainable, business-minded ways. And the Latino Committee provides a bilingual, welcoming space where business owners share resources, tools, and education. Investment here looks like strengthening foundations.
One of Lundock’s most meaningful contributions is the Women in Leadership Littleton (WILL) program. Having broken her own share of glass ceilings, she understands that business can still feel like a man’s world.
Her grandfather once told her, “You can do whatever you want to do.” That encouragement stayed with her, and now she’s paying it forward.
This year, the annual Women in Leadership Conference will be held on April 22 at Arapahoe Community College. Starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 12:30 p.m., the half-day event focuses on networking and inspiration. It’s intentionally welcoming and supportive, with women learning from and championing one another, not competing.

Beth Best, Co-Chair of the Chamber’s Women in Leadership Conference, says the program is rooted in the belief that connection creates momentum. “When passionate, community-minded leaders come together in one room, something powerful happens. This year’s theme, Together We WILL, reflects our commitment to collaboration over competition. When we connect authentically, share our experiences, and invest in one another’s growth, we don’t just strengthen individual leaders—we strengthen the entire Littleton business community.”
Lundock’s leadership style is rooted in authenticity. “I just want to wear my jeans,” she says with a laugh. “I don’t care what people think.” She leads by building trust, taking the high road, and focusing on real value.
When she was first offered the Executive Director role, she said no. But her lifelong instinct to serve ultimately led her to step in and build something meaningful for her hometown.
When Lundock retires this spring, she is confident the Chamber will continue to grow and expects it will stay in its lane: hyper-local, business-focused, and grounded in relationships.
This year’s WILL conference will also include a moment to celebrate Lundock’s impact. “Lundock’s vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment helped build and shape the Littleton Business Chamber into the vibrant organization it is today,” says Best. “Her impact on our members and our community will be felt for many years to come, and we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate her legacy.”
Perhaps fittingly, Lundock’s favorite place in Littleton is Ketring Lake: a place to walk, slow down, and reflect. After years of steady leadership, bridge-building, and quiet advocacy, she’s earned that.
The Chamber will continue. Businesses will grow. New leaders will step forward. But this chapter, defined by authenticity, humility, and deep hometown pride, truly belongs to her. Littleton is better because Korri Lundock invested in it, and that’s a legacy that lasts.
"If we keep one business afloat, it's worth it."
