Collins’ resignation, effective March 1, came 20 years after she first joined the chamber.

"The time has come for me to say goodbye to this chapter in my life. I have two daughters who both live out of state but who are only an hour away by plane,” she said in a press release. “I plan to spend more time with them and my three grandchildren.  My husband retired a year ago and we would like to do some traveling."

Collins also has a new role as a recently elected Will County Board member.
