What do we do?
We're busy. We meet monthly on the third Wednesday at the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower in downtown Chicago for networking and a career-related educational
program. We also hold spring and fall receptions. Smaller groups also meet monthly in the city
and the suburbs for informal networking get-togethers.
