Introduction

Welcome to the North Central Regional Betterment Coalition homepage. The NCRBC, or RBC for short, is a 501(c)3 organization. The North Central Region of Illinois is comprised of the counties of LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam. While there are many diverse entities in these three counties, they also share a natural linkage with each other. As a Betterment Coalition we strive for nothing more, and at the same time nothing less, than to see our region improve. Our region has many strengths and fine organizations. By definition, however, every organization also has its limitations. We are concerned about the potential improvement opportunities that can fall through the cracks. NCRBC would like to collaborate with you in facilitating your communication and involvement with others in this tri-county area. To do so, we need your help.

On this Web site, you can find links to:

  • membership-partnership options - a unique new service to bring greater continuity and service to all of the many fine service groups and organizations currently at work in North Central Illinois
  • plans for the creation of the North Central Regional Artists Coalition
  • the NCRBC Educational Advocacy Committee, which will be confronting the challenges of improving our educational capacity to match the needs of today’s economy
  • a detailed history of how a group of concerned citizens just like yourself came together in 2002 with the idea that people, one step at a time, can make things a little bit better

Additional links of service for the community will be added as we continue to evolve.
