Prosperity in Illinois is a dream that entrepreneurs still have. Regardless of conditions in this state, many employers and employees want to succeed. To make that happen, many businesses have joined the Illinois Prosperity Project (IP2).
The Illinois Prosperity Project is a coalition of employers and business organizations throughout the state. Their mission is to provide employees and associates with information about the political activities of elected state and federal officials. The coalition also wants to help more people get involved in the election process by becoming a resource that can help bridge the gap between government and business.
The coalition was founded in 2002. Since then, it has focused on promoting voter education, voter registration, and encouraging members to vote. While IP2 does not endorse any candidate for office, it does strive to educate employers and employees about the relationship between government and how it impacts economic growth, competitiveness, and job creation and retention.
?This organization can be very helpful to both employers and employees, said Amy Murphy, director of Corporate and Community Services for Joliet Junior College. ?It provides a lot of useful information including contact information for state and federal elected representatives, as well as all levels of county and local government officials.?
