Congratulations to the Illinois Environmental Council! We're proud to be one of your members! #illinoisenvironmentalcouncilOur affiliate organizations are the backbone of the environmental movement in our state and represent the very best of our community. They’ve guided our agenda and shaped our strategies for nearly 45 years.
Their strength is not only a sign of IEC’s strength as an organization, but of the strength of our environment and the policies that protect it as well. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that IEC has officially reached an exciting milestone:
We now have over 100 affiliate organizations operating within the state of Illinois!
