Each year, lawmakers in the Illinois General Assembly introduce more than 10,000 pieces of legislation covering issues ranging from labor and environmental regulations to taxes, health care, and the state budget. As a powerful and respected advocate, the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association serves as the unified voice of manufacturers at the State Capitol, where decisions made by policymakers can have a direct impact on a company’s bottom line.
Every day, the IMA’s experienced team is on the front lines advocating for policies that strengthen Illinois manufacturing, fighting proposals that threaten jobs and economic growth, and ensuring manufacturers have a seat at the table. Recognized by the American Society of Association Executives for excellence in legislative advocacy, the IMA is proud of our record of success and our continued work to boldly move makers forward in Illinois.
