"The Parks Chamber Legislative Event Series provides opportunities for government leaders to share official 'State of' addresses that highlight current initiatives and successes," said The Parks Chamber Executive Director Tonya Lamia. "Our primary goal of the Series is to connect the local business community with legislative and government leaders so we can hear from them directly. Events are held on the third Wednesday of every month from February through November from 4:00-6:00 PM at Forest Hills Country Club. Each event also features Informational Tables by federal, state, and local organizations that offer FREE and confidential services to businesses and entrepreneurs, including the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), the Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC), The Workforce Connection, and the U.S. Commercial Service."

ABOUT SENATOR STADELMAN
Senator Steve Stadelman is an award-winning TV news anchor and father of four who ran for a seat in the Illinois Senate in 2012 because his experiences as a journalist and parent convinced him of the need for fresh, common-sense representation in Springfield. His public policy achievements have twice since earned him recognition as Legislator of the Year, and he has brought home tens of millions in state funding for projects that expand the local economy and improve quality of life. Senator Stadelman secured $275 Million toward development of passenger rail between Chicago and Rockford and co-sponsored legislation to allow a Rockford casino, legislation that ensures Loves Park and Machesney Park share in the tax revenues. He has consistently delivered state funding for the Chicago-O’Hare International Airport and Rockford Park District facilities including Sand Park Pool and Sportscore in Loves Park.
