Model Illinois Government

We would like to give a massive thank you to State Senator Steve McClure! Senator McClure took time out of his busy schedule to serve as our keynote speaker for this year’s Model Illinois Government Opening Ceremony last Thursday. It was an amazing opportunity to hear about the behind-the-scenes work and effort that go into turning a piece of legislation from an idea into its final vote.

Interested in reading about what our legislators are up to this weekend? Look no further than the MIG Journal:
