“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston Churchill.
The Illinois Chamber would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Keith Staats, who has served as the Executive Director of the Tax Institute for nearly a decade. Keith’s dedication to the chamber and its members has gone above and beyond expectations; he has truly given much to the chamber and its members. In 2023, he stepped in as the interim President of the Chamber following the passing of Todd Maisch. As we closed out 2024, he decided to broaden his impact and stepped down from leading the Tax Institute to pursue opportunities as a consultant in State Tax and Revenue.
