Illinois Veteran Business Advocacy Day will bring together Veteran-Owned Business leaders from across the state to engage directly with legislators and policymakers at the State Capitol in Springfield. Participants will address critical issues including procurement access, workforce development, access to capital, and regulatory reform impacting Veteran entrepreneurs. The event will create a platform for Veterans to share real-world business perspectives and advocate for policies that strengthen Illinois’ economic competitiveness. By uniting business leadership with civic engagement, Advocacy Day will ensure those who served continue to have a voice in shaping the state’s economic future.
