The event recognizes and celebrates LGC Fellows, community leaders, and organizations for making a significant and transformative impact on our region.
The 2018 celebration will be extra special as LGC marks the 35th Anniversary of its founding by The Chicago Community Trust. Proceeds from this important evening support LGC’s Signature Fellows Program and the organization’s efforts to build Chicago’s civic leadership pipeline.
