It's not too soon to mark your calendars for next year's AIB Symposium & Awards Celebration, October 3-5, 2019.

We'll be heading to St. Charles, Illinois, an AIB award-winning community. The "Pride of the Fox," St. Charles is pleasantly situated along the wooded, rolling banks of the Fox River just 35 miles west of Downtown Chicago.

St. Charles has a rich history of manufacturing, trade, transportation, and bootstrap development. Enterprising pioneers from the East established the town, where industry soon thrived. By the turn of the 20th Century, St. Charles was welcoming hardworking newcomers from Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and beyond.

Today, St. Charles attracts international employers and offers innovative schools, beautiful parks, and unique and historic architecture. St. Charles is a city moving into the future as boldly as it tackled its storied past.
