The State of the Region program celebrates the organizations and individuals successfully working to improve northeastern Illinois, its communities, and its people, while bringing attention to public sentiment on key quality-of-life issues.
On this page, you can get to know CMAP’s 2023 Regional Excellence Award winners and explore other highlights from the State of the Region program.
Erin Aleman and CMAP staff have been busy traveling the region to celebrate a worthy cause — our communities and their incredible achievements!
We’ve made stops in Arlington Heights, Aurora, Skokie, and Montgomery, as well as virtually from Chicago, to honor our award winners for their work to improve northeastern Illinois’ quality of life. We’ve presented trophies recognizing:
The City of Aurora and Fox Valley Developers
Pace Suburban Bus
The Regional Transportation Authority
George Van Dusen, mayor of Skokie
Peter Wallers, chairman of Engineering Enterprises, Inc.
And we’re not done, yet. We’re looking forward to celebrating the Village of Oak Park and the Auburn-Gresham community in the coming weeks.
The 2023 Regional Excellence Awards celebrate seven projects and leaders that are making northeastern Illinois more inclusive and thriving. Through their accomplishments and careers, the 2023 award winners have helped our region become more accessible, equitable, and sustainable. Congratulations to the winners!

The State of the Region survey reveals residents’ attitudes toward key quality-of-life issues — including transportation, economy, and climate — and identifies successes and challenges across the region.
CMAP conducted the survey to better understand the priorities and experiences of community members and see how ON TO 2050, the region’s long-range plan, can address the most pressing issues.
