IVCA Advocacy in Action: Meeting with State Leaders
Wednesday, June 25, 2025

At the core of IVCA’s mission is our commitment to advocating for Illinois’ venture capital and private equity community. This week, IVCA Executive Director Christie Pruyn and IVCA-PAC Legislative Liaison Dave Stricklin met with:
- State Representative Eva Dina Delgado (D-3), Assistant Majority Leader
- State Representative Bob Morgan (D-58), Assistant Majority Leader and Floor Whip
Both legislators support entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses, and we’re grateful for their leadership and partnership.
These meetings are part of the ongoing work of the IVCA-PAC), which builds relationships with policymakers, educates them on the importance of private capital in Illinois’ economy, and advocates for a policy environment that supports innovation and investment.
Together, we’re working to ensure that Illinois remains a strong and competitive home for private equity and venture capital.
