Banners announcing that fact are displayed during the month of March on light poles in and around the State Capitol in downtown Springfield. This is a busy month for the Illinois General Assembly with legislative bill reading deadlines and meetings late into the night. With lobbyists and business groups traveling to Springfield to influence state lawmakers, IAR also has that added boost in the subtle messaging from the display of the banners adorning the streets of downtown Springfield.

With the legislative session in full swing and IAR lobbyists hard at work protecting your business interests in Springfield, make plans now to attend the IAR Capitol Conference on March 23 to help advance our legislative agenda. This offers you the opportunity to see the legislative process in action, learn more about key issues affecting real estate being considered by the legislature and meet with your respective legislator.
