The Cable Television and Communications Association of Illinois serves as the trade association for the cable television industry in Illinois.  Membership is divided into two categories:  general members and associate members.  General members are cable system operators, while associate members include programming services, equipment supply companies, and any other businesses that have an affiliation with the cable television industry.

The Cable Television and Communications Association of Illinois is guided by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of both members and associate members.  The Association’s President manages day-to-day activities of the CT&C, and implements policy decisions from the Board of Directors.

As part of its services, the CT&C hosts several annual events, including the Chairman’s Dinner every winter, a Legislative Day every spring at the Illinois State Capitol, and the Gary J. Maher Memorial Golf Outing every summer.  In addition, the CT&C holds regional meetings throughout the state of Illinois.

In its twenty-five year history, the CT&C has actively represented its membership in the Illinois General Assembly.  Also, as an active member of the National Cable Association (NCTA), the CT&C has worked tirelessly on behalf of its members in both Springfield, IL and Washington, D.C.
