Partners

The Central Illinois Green Expo is produced through the partnership of the following non-profit organizations:

Founded in 1966, Illinois Central College is a publicly funded, comprehensive community college that serves as a resource for the educational and cultural needs of the community and focuses on developing the talents and skills of the residents of the district it serves which includes about 10 counties in the greater Peoria area. The ICC Educational Foundation assures access to higher education for our community and enhances the quality of education at ICC. The Foundation annually provides more than 850 scholarships totaling over $1 million.

An AAM accredited museum since 1973, the Lakeview Museum offers exhibits, educational materials, activities and programs as well as provides free and reduced-fee programming through sponsorships, underwriting and scholarships for underserved populations. The mission of Lakeview Museum is, “To collect, study and interpret Art, History, Science and Nature in order to inspire lifelong learning for the people of Central Illinois and our visitors."

Tri-County Construction Labor-Management Council (TRICON), a local non-profit labor-management council founded in 1984, brings together building trades and contractors from the central Illinois construction industry to foster cooperation and address mutual concerns. TRICON programs and activities focus on workforce development, networking, safety, and green building.

The Sun Foundation was established in 1973 to assess, strengthen and advance the arts and environmental sciences in underserved rural and urban communities. It provides financial support as well as high-quality, innovative, and interdisciplinary programs, services, and cooperative efforts for artists, local arts organizations, schools, and the general public.

The Peoria Park District's mission is “To enrich life in our community through stewardship of the environment and the provision of quality recreational and leisure opportunities.” We accomplish this through the preservation of over 8,000 acres of open space, with over 1,600 acres as Dedicated Illinois State Nature Preserves. Green technology and ecological stewardship are the focus of many of our facilities including; Forest Park Nature Center, Wm H Sommer Park, Camp Wokanda, Luthy Botanical Gardens and the Peoria Zoo. We strive throughout the District to live up to out vision of being “Guardians of a quality environment.”
