Please join us in Springfield for the 2026 NWRA Illinois Chapter Meeting and Legislative Reception.
The afternoon program will begin with a State of the Association update from Michael E. Hoffman, followed by legislative updates from Chapter Lobbyist Jim Morphew. We are also pleased to welcome Doug Scott, Chair of the Illinois Commerce Commission, who will provide a timely discussion on the Future of Gas.
Following the meeting, we will walk to Trish & Mary's Public House for the Legislative Reception, co-hosted with the Chemical Industry Council of Illinois (CICI), for the opportunity to network with state legislators, agency officials, and industry peers.
We hope you will join us for an afternoon of industry updates and an evening of networking with the policymakers shaping the future of waste and recycling in Illinois.
We look forward to seeing you in Springfield!
