Programs » Leadership Fellows Association

Speaker at 20th anniversary Since 1992, the Leadership Fellows Association (LFA) has served as the alumni connection and education arm of Leadership Greater Chicago. LFA keeps Fellows up-to-date on key community issues, helps Fellows stay connected to each other and to the organization, promotes cross-class networking and collaborations, and inspires community leadership long after Fellows have completed their Fellowship years.

Jackie Kaplan "The program changed me far more than I imagined it would. It helped all of us develop our voices as members of different communities – based on more than geography, race or occupation. It transformed us as a group from individuals representing particular perspectives to participants in a larger community working for change."

LGC is a real investment in the future. It helps Chicago by providing leadership talent to nonprofit organizations and enables corporations to be good corporate citizens.
