This week the IBA is in Washington, D.C. for the 2026 National Association of Broadcasters State Leadership Conference. While in town, IBA leadership was able to meet with Senator Dick Durbin, Congressman Mike Quigley, Congressman Eric Sorensen, and former Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. We thank each of them for their time and continued support of broadcasters.

We pity the fool who won't be in attendance at Monday to see Mr. T get inducted into the Illinois Broadcasters Association's Hall of Fame.
