At HACIA, every initiative we take—from preparing the next generation of construction leaders to advocating for more equitable policies and fostering a strong member network—is driven by one purpose: to build a more inclusive and prosperous construction industry.
As we look back on the past year, we’re proud to share our 2024 Impact Report—a reflection of the milestones we’ve reached, the partnerships we’ve strengthened, and the lives we’ve helped shape across Illinois.
This report is more than a collection of numbers and highlights. It’s a snapshot of how we’re advancing equity in the construction space through three pillars of our mission: programs, membership, and advocacy.
Inside, you’ll find:
- A message from our Executive Director and Board President reflecting on this year’s accomplishments and our shared vision for the future.
- Highlights from our workforce development programs and the incredible success stories that have emerged.
- A look at how we’re continuing to grow and serve our 350+ members with valuable resources and events.
- Key milestones in our advocacy efforts, driving change and expanding opportunities for M/W/V/DBEs across Illinois.
- A spotlight on how HACIA Scholarship & Education is continuing to support the next generation through funding for educational access.
The 2024 Impact Report is a testament to what’s possible when we work together—and we’re just getting started.
