UCCA's Illinois Division-

The Illinois Division, often referred to as the "Chicago Division",
traces it's roots back to 1949 when it was established under the
name "League of Americans of Ukrainian Decent".  

In 1974 the League was formally incorporated under the umbrella of
the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America.  

Today, the Illinois Division is one of the most active divisions in the
USA and the largest contributor to UCCA's Ukrainian National
Information Service (UNIS).
