Bill > HR0255

This resolution congratulates the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC), a statewide environmental advocacy organization, on its 50th anniversary. Established in 1975, the IEC has worked continuously to advance environmental policies and protections across Illinois, with more than 130 affiliate members. The resolution highlights the organization's significant contributions, including providing policy and scientific expertise on critical environmental issues such as clean water, clean energy, conservation, sustainable agriculture, clean transportation, waste reduction, and environmental justice. It recognizes the IEC's role in forming legislative caucuses like the Illinois Legislative Green Caucus and the Illinois Legislative Outdoor Caucus, as well as its annual efforts to connect legislators with constituents on environmental matters. The resolution emphasizes the growing importance of the IEC's work in light of climate change and extreme weather predictions, and formally congratulates and thanks the organization's affiliate members, staff, and volunteers for their efforts to protect Illinois's natural environment, people, plants, and animals. The document also directs that copies of the resolution be presented to the organization's Executive Director Jennifer Walling, board presidents Rev. Brian Sauder and Delmar Gillus, as a gesture of esteem and respect.
