Congresswoman Robin Kelly has dedicated her career to public service as an advocate for Illinois families since being elected to serve the 2nd Congressional District in 2013.

All members are urged to attend the Annual Meeting. A membership quorum is required to conduct our business and elect the board of directors. Your input and vote are needed. Family and friends are welcome to attend. Our meeting theme is "Racing for Democracy," which expresses the League's charge to save and maintain our democracy. It also gives a nod to the Kentucky Derby races that occur in May.
