Celebrating a Decade of Impact

10 years of power, influence, and change.

A decade ago, 16 disabled leaders gathered together and decided Chicago's civic leadership should look different. A decade later, our Network is 300 strong, and the work we've done has shifted who holds power in this city.

‍
This fall, we're marking the milestone—and inviting you into what we're building next. This isn't a charity gala. It's a leadership celebration.

‍
Join us for...

• Food and drink,
• Remarks and storytelling,
• Recognition of partners and champions, and
• A first look at where we're going next!
