Leadership Greater Chicago (LGC) (www.lgcchicago.org) announced today the selection of 26 top executives for the 2024 Cohort of The Daniel Burnham Fellowship. The Fellowship is a strategic partnership.
Chicago United is helping to change the look of corporate America.
The organization works with companies on diversity, inclusion and talent management.
Chicago United CEO Tiffany Hamel Johnson said company leaders have to make diversity a priority. The barriers have been around, not having - I believe - accountability outside of just saying we are bringing them in, but how do we keep them and how do we move them through, Johnson said.
According to Chicago United, between 2012 and 2020 Black, Latino and Asian representation in the C-suite at Chicago s top 50 companies increased by more than 10 percentage points.
Chicago United offers Corporate Inclusion Institute, a program that gives companies the tools to transform their culture with the hopes of more employees from underrepresented backgrounds rising up the corporate ladder.
