The mission of the Northern Illinois Business Advocacy Coalition is to act as the grassroots advocacy organization for member Chambers of Commerce of the Northern Illinois region. Current Chambers that are part of NIBAC include: Arlington Heights, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines, Hoffman Estates, Lake Zurich, Lincolnshire, Mount Prospect, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, and Wheeling/Prospect Heights along with the Greater O'Hare Association. NIBAC will engage in issues-oriented strategic and tactical programs in government relations on the State, County, Regional and National level.

Your involvement really does make a difference. Whether it's writing a personal letter to your member of Congress or learning about the issues that shape each election, if you're not making your voice heard, someone else is. Don't let others decide who will represent you or which way they'll vote--get involved today.

Everyone is now aware of how close elections can be at any level, making it all the more important to learn about the candidates and get out and vote. In election years, find out about voter registration, the candidates running, and the issues by clicking on the links below. Let your members of Congress know what you think about the issues by clicking "Take Action" in the Grassroots box to the right.

Don't forget: it's your business!
