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.
For the 2023 program, CMAP is taking the celebration on the road! Executive Director Erin Aleman and CMAP employees are visiting with communities throughout the region’s seven counties to showcase awards and share more details on the state of the region and what we can continue to achieve together on the way to 2050 and beyond.
