Save the Date
Thank you for 
supporting the 
Illinois Chamber!
Chamber Day is a joint ini­
tiative by the Illinois Cham­
ber and Illinois Association 
of Chamber of Commerce 
Executives (IACCE) that brings together businesses of all 
sizes with a strong representation of small businesses. The 
event provides an opportunity for businesses to meet with 
legislators and share their priorities. Moreover, it is a great 
chance for our members to hear from the legislative leaders 
of each of the four caucuses.
	
We were honored to have House Speaker Welch, Senate 
President Harmon, House Republican Leader McCombie, 
and Senate Republican Leader Curran back with us this 
year. During the event, the legislative leaders discussed 
several important topics, including BIPA, sports stadium 
financing, and minimum wage.
	
In the morning segment, Tyler Clark from Microsoft 
discussed workforce development and artificial intelligence. 
Kevin Courtois from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce 
provided a federal update, and Peter Steinmeyer gave a 
presentation titled “Death by ‘820’ Cuts.” The program con­
cluded with final remarks from Illinois Chamber President 
and CEO Lou Sandoval before Chamber council directors 
addressed critical issues.
On April 10, 2024, we were delighted to welcome local chambers and 
member businesses from across the state to Springfield for our annual 
Chamber Day event.
