Good morning!

The editor did not actually take a vacation! I, along with the ILLBA Board of Directors have been hard of work preparing for the Great Lakes Transportation Show, August 13-14 at the Schaumburg Convention Center.

Check out the agenda... and register today!

Take the time to learn something new, expand your network, and take a peek at the latest products and services. Most of all, invest in growing your business!

Questions regarding the show? Interested in being a volunteer or sponsor? Contact the ILLBA office for more information. A member of the board or show team will respond promptly.

I look forward to seeing you August 12-13!
