Chamber President Releases Statement on Pro Growth Path Forward for Illinois

Dear Illinois Chamber Members and Business Community,

As we move beyond the election and look toward the future, it is important to focus on the opportunities that lie ahead for our state and the communities in which we impact through our businesses. Regardless of election outcomes, we are united in our shared commitment to the growth, prosperity, and well-being of our state, our local businesses and residents.

This moment calls for a mindset of unity and collaboration. In times of change, it is even more crucial that we come together, work as one, and remain positive in our collective vision for the future. The fiscal challenges we face as a state are not insurmountable; with a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect, we can turn these challenges into new possibilities as with a focus on a growth agenda for Illinois business of all sizes.

At the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, we are excited to continue fostering strong partnerships with our local elected leaders, businesses, and residents as we look towards the 104th General Assembly. Whether it’s through supporting new policies that encourage innovation or simply strengthening the relationships that help drive our local economy, our chamber will remain a platform for collaboration, progress and growth.

Let us remember that our strength lies not only in what we achieve individually, but also in how we lift one another up and work toward a common goal. The future is brighter when we work together, and with renewed optimism, we can achieve great things for our businesses, communities and State.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication. We look forward to collaborating with all of you as we step confidently into the future.

 

Warm regards,

Lou Sandoval

President and CEO
