Elevate and Celebrate

Celebrate the end of an amazing 2025-2026 programming year with NSA-Illinois! Our Elevate and Celebrate event is a year-end tradition that brings together members to honor our successes and recognize the hard work of our peers.

This year, in addition to our awards ceremony, we’re offering something extra special: a powerful educational session and presentations from our Last Story Standing Chapter Champion, Martina Mathisen, and, new this year, a presentation from one of our Speaker’s Academy Grads.

Chris Carter, our chapter’s President, will host our program of networking, education, and celebration in his usual entertaining way.

This event is one of the highlights of the year, offering both inspiration and celebration.
