From Our Sponsors
The LGC Leadership Series has been a really engaging and insightful experience, offering a powerful glimpse into how peers across Chicago are tackling different challenges. Despite coming from diverse industries and organizations, it’s clear we’re all navigating similar issues—and each session has given me new insights from new people I have met.

It really makes a difference to have a program and an emphasis on ensuring the next generation of leaders are being developed in the city.John Rogers, Jr., (LGC Fellow since 1985) – Ariel Investments
