State Legislative Reception

What happens in Springfield doesn't stay in Springfield. It impacts the way we hire, grow, invest and do business right here in Greater Peoria.

Join the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce for our annual State Legislative Reception, where the region's business and community leaders come together with the legislators representing Greater Peoria for an open conversation about the issues shaping Illinois' future.

Hear directly from your elected officials as they discuss legislative priorities, provide updates from the Capitol and share insight into the policies affecting employers, workforce development, infrastructure, taxation, economic development and our region's competitiveness. The moderated discussion will conclude with an opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with their legislators.

Whether you're a business owner, nonprofit leader, community advocate or engaged resident, this event offers a unique opportunity to better understand the decisions being made in Springfield and how they impact our community.

Before the program, attendees are encouraged to start the conversation during a networking reception with fellow community leaders.
