Committee Structure

Seven standing committees have been assigned by the Board of Directors to help guide the affairs of the Illinois Development Council:

  1. Conference Planning Committee
  2. Education Committee
  3. Executive Committee
  4. Government Affairs
  5. Marketing
  6. Membership Development
  7. Public Relations

With the exception of the Executive and Public Relations Committees, membership on any of listed committees is voluntary and open to anyone of good membership standing with the Council Meetings are held sux times annually, prior to each board meeting.

An active member of the Illinois Development Council chairs each committee. These Chairpersons have been chosen from the ranks of IDC membership by the Board due, in part, to their dedication to the mission of the Illinois Development Council and their past dedication to perform an extraordinary amount of work with no compensation.

If you are interested in volunteering to work on a committee, contact Michael Lane or complete the Committee Interest Form and return it to the IDC Office.
