2019 Year in Review

2019 has been a remarkable year for the Association and the industry overall.

With your help and engagement, the IRA was able to maintain the tip credit in the city of Chicago and state of Illinois, award more than $174,000 in scholarships to the next generation of hospitality professionals, and much more. 

These successes would not have been possible without the support of our members, Officers, Board of Directors, Chairman Greg Schulson and all our corporate sponsors.
