Illinois Beverage Association

Had a great time in Washington, D.C. this week—thank you to the American Beverage Association for bringing together associations from across the country! 🇺🇸

We enjoyed connecting with Illinois congressional members, discussing key issues impacting the beverage industry, and sharing insights from our members. Looking forward to continuing the conversation. 📌

As we approach the spring, we’re reflecting on our recent Lobby Day in Springfield 🏛️
We had meaningful conversations with legislators and shared our industry’s story, joined by member companies PepsiCo, Heartland Coca-Cola, Keurig Dr Pepper, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, and Coca-Cola North America 🤝✨
