The ICA and You!

On Friday, May 27th at 8 pm, the ICA Board will be hosting a meeting at the Chicago Open for all Illinois players. It doesn’t matter if you are a current or former ICA member, or thinking of joining, please attend. 

There will be an opportunity to find out where the ICA is currently and some of our future plans. 

You could volunteer to be part of bringing new exciting programs and events. The ICA needs people with a few hours of time, effort/work, and/or resources available who are willing to help bring things together.

You can also offer your thoughts and ideas for consideration.

Hope to see you there.
