Our Collective Impact: ACA Illinois Annual Meeting

What exactly does ACA Illinois do? A lot! As a 501(c)3, ACA Illinois serves thousands of people each year through our mission focused work. Join us to learn more about how we work collectively to get more people to camp, and help our camps continue to provide excellent, life-changing programs.

The Annual Meeting is important to the transparency and mission of our organization. During the meeting, you will hear directly from the Board President, Executive Director, Treasurer, and our program services Committees. Reports will include updates on projects and initiatives, in addition to plans for the future.
