To execute our decisively pro-business agenda, the Chamber’s government relations efforts are non-partisan, relationship-based, and always member-driven. We believe that principled advocacy and a clear business voice are essential for Illinois to succeed.
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce is the state’s leading business advocacy organization representing member companies across all industries and sectors. As a membership-based organization, we are driven and guided by the legislative and regulatory needs of our members as we support policies that grow the dynamic Illinois economy.
Our full-time Government Relations team actively tracks and negotiates legislation and builds relationships with lawmakers in order to make our state more economically competitive. Our GR department is built on a team of registered lobbyists who are both issue area experts and passionate advocates for the business community.
