CHAIRWOMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR YOO
Chair Yoo welcomed Committee Members and provided updates from the DuPage Convention
& Visitor's Bureau noting two large events, including the USA Power Lifting Raw Nationals
which generated over $2 million dollars to be infused back into DuPage communities. The
National Nuclear Security Administration & Department of Energy Emergency Management
Symposium was also held at the Argonne National Laboratory in honor of their 40th Anniversary
and the first time these two groups were able to meet. This resulted in 1500 room nights at 7
hotels, all sourced and helped with an incentive from the DCVB.
