Please join the Better Government Association at our Centennial Celebration & Annual Luncheon. Proceeds from this event will directly fuel our Illinois Answers Project’s investigative and solutions-based newsroom, incisive BGA Policy reform initiatives and our commitment to Civic Engagement so that all communities, especially those disproportionately impacted by government failures, are equipped and informed as advocates.
This year’s luncheon will honor Michael J. Sacks and feature a special conversation with BGA President David Greising, best-selling author Jonathan Eig and award-winning editor, journalist and author Natalie Moore.
