SEPTEMBER 2024  3 
“We are committed to collaborating with leaders who 
support a pro-growth, pro-business, pro-Illinois agenda, 
regardless of their political beliefs. We aim to find 
common ground to advocate and implement policies 
that strike a balance between the needs of employers and 
employees within the state.” 
policies proposed by legislators in 
Springfield. 
	
As we unveil our strategic plan 
for the state, known as Chamber 
2.0, we anticipate turning heads as 
we collaborate with individuals and 
organizations that the chamber has 
not previously engaged with. This 
disruption will mark the emergence 
of a new chamber that aims to deliver 
the balance we envision across the 
state and the various industries our 
members are involved in. We believe 
that the state needs business associa-
tions who remain independent, free 
of incumbrances to the very govern-
ment that we seek to impact.  
	
I am excited to continue sharing 
the progress and key elements of this 
plan as we prepare for an impactful 
2025 and the 104th Legislative session.
Yours in Business,
Lou Sandoval
President and CEO
Illinois Chamber of Commerce
