LeadingAge Illinois Advocacy Center
Advocacy has always been a major strength of LeadingAge Illinois. Our Online Advocacy Center allows you to view our member driven Public Policy Priorities, track legislation, find your legislator, and access important links related to legislation and regulations. LeadingAge Illinois’ public policy team works to advance favorable legislation and defeat burdensome proposals that would impact quality and innovation in the aging services.
