As the premier association representing the Illinois banking industry, we advocate by initiating, negotiating, and lobbying for pro-banking state legislation while opposing legislation harmful to the banking industry. At the federal level, we maintain effective relations with Illinois’ Congressional delegation and coordinate critical Washington, D.C. banker visits. At the local level, IBA monitors Chicago City Council ordinances and actions and actively lobbies the city government.
