Together, we can make the city and the region a better place for all who live and work here.
“LGC has been smart—identifying rising leaders early in their careers and giving them the resources and encouragement to actively participate in the community throughout their lives.” Liz Thompson, LGC Fellow since 1991
“As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” Because of The Daniel Burnham Fellowship, we know better and now we can do better.”Kimberley Goode, Daniel Burnham Fellow since 2023
