List of Chapter Committees

These committee members are the strategic visionaries of NARIGC, ensuring we are seeing “the forest through the trees” and aligning our volunteer efforts with our strategic growth plan.
The Awards Program Committee oversees and facilitates the marketing, submission, review, and judging of the Remodeler of the Year award applications. The Awards Program Committee also oversees and facilitates the Annual Awards Gala – the chapter’s formal, high-octane event that promotes premiere sponsors and provides a ceremonial presentation of the Remodeler of the Year Awards and President’s Awards.
The Summer Social Committee oversees and facilitates our annual Summer Social event/meeting. The Summer Social is relaxing evening of fun and networking while celebrating Chicagoland in the summertime.

Industry professionals can promote their brands, participate in roundtables discussions, educate about best practices in design, and network with their peers.
The Education Expo Committee oversees and facilitates the chapter’s annual Education Expo event. This event involves top-notch speakers and industry-experts and gives attendees the opportunity to connect with and learn about the newest products, materials, technology, and services. Our inaugural event in 2022 quickly became the premier industry educational event for residential remodelers in Chicagoland!
The Annual Meeting Committee oversees and facilitates the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is typically held in November. The Chair is the incoming President for the following year. The Annual Meeting is our only members-only event where we engage our top speaker for the year, conduct leadership elections, and the incoming President provides their strategic plan to membership for the upcoming year.
