The Chicago Network is a premier organization of diverse, professional women in the Chicago area who have reached the highest echelons of business, the arts, government, the professions and academia. Chicago Network members are women who make a difference through the thoughtful exercise of leadership, power and influence.  In our 2007 Census Report, you can see the results of our annual research into the progress of executive women at leading Chicago businesses and nonprofits.  Look for our 2008 Census to be published this November.

The achievements of our members since our founding are extensive.  In this, our 30th year, we continue to be an important voice committed to the advancement of women in Chicago, and nationally.
