History
The Founding Convention of DuPage United on April 6,
2003 was the culmination of a multi-year organizing
effort. A diverse group of DuPage County religious,
labor and community associations came together in late
1999, combining their leadership and financial
resources to create a sponsoring organization.
Beginning in early 2000, hundreds and hundreds of
one-to-one discussions and house meetings with ordinary
people have been conducted to assess issues of concern
in DuPage County and to identify and train a core group
of volunteer leaders. The leaders and their
institutions formally launched the new organization on
April 6, 2003 choosing the name DuPage United,
ratifying the by-laws, and electing the first Steering
Team.
