But did you know more people attend association-sponsored Chicagoland meetings than Chicago Bulls, Blackhawks and Bears games combined? Find out other little-known facts about associations included in the Association Forum of Chicagoland's 2006 Economic Impact Study, the first study of its kind conducted in the last 12 years. Learn why Chicago-based associations are good employers, how they support thousands of other jobs and industries in the region and why they are vital to the local and state economy.
