Illinois suffers from a lack of cohesion between separate circuits for speech and debate, hurting the community that tournaments are supposed to foster and limiting growth across all events (to the point where the State tournament was cancelled in 2023 for debate). The Illinois Chapter hopes to bridge these gaps, providing an inclusive community for all of speech and debate with specific outreach plans and fundraising initiatives to support Southern Illinois and Chicago Public Schools.
