WEEK OF 05-29-2023
| At our featured events, discover DEIA strategies that work, increase your awareness and cultural understanding of women’s health, and prepare for the future of electric vehicles. Getting Results: DEIA Strategies that Work Wednesday, May 31, 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm Mesirow Auditorium, 353 N. Clark St., Chicago As our society has undergone massive changes over the past few years, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) has become more important than ever. Many companies have seen the value in investing in DEIA strategies but aren’t seeing the results they expected. There are many reasons why these strategies fail, from leaders not being aligned on priorities to lack of funding or infrastructure to properly see the strategies through. In this panel discussion hosted by the Executives’ Club of Chicago, experts will explore ways to make sure there is organizational alignment around DEIA initiatives as a priority. The panelists will delve into optimal structures to support these initiatives, ensure metrics and incentives align, how to make sure leadership is on the same page, and more ways to best achieve real results.

Register Preparing for the Future of Electric Vehicles Tuesday, June 13, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm Dykema, 10 S Wacker Dr., Fl 23, Chicago While individuals and businesses transition to electric vehicles (EVs), it’s important to consider what governments need to understand when transitioning their fleets to electric. Join the Chicagoland Chamber for an important discussion on the transition to EVs and gain insights on the steps required to support the future of EVs that will drive sustainable economic growth. The panel will discuss the charging infrastructure required to support electric vehicles, including the integration of high-speed 5G wireless networks in transportation, which will be transformative for Americans—generating billions of dollars in economic benefits, reducing congestion and saving lives.
