President's Address

Over twenty years ago, four innovative women came together with a powerful vision to launch Leadership Illinois—an organization that ENERGIZES, ENLIGHTENS and EDUCATES women throughout the state. Now 400 strong, alumni are from Fortune 1,000 companies, non-profits, education, state and the federal government as well as finance, legal services, the real estate industry and more.

As a member, you’ll benefit from an abundance of professional development opportunities, create powerful networks, and be introduced to the best Illinois has to offer—tours at leading corporations, getting an insider’s view of state politics, and—most importantly—learning from each other. The ultimate goal: Leadership Illinois prepares you to become a catalyst for positive change in your businesses and communities.

How Does Leadership Illinois Work?

Each year, 20 to 25 women from diverse backgrounds and professional experiences are selected. As a member, you will attend three conferences throughout the year:

  • The Power of the Government in Springfield
  • The Power of the Individual, in Champaign
  • The Power of the Marketplace in Chicago

Each conference is planned and facilitated by Leadership alumnae who’ve made a personal commitment to pay it forward in the lives of other women. Corporate sponsors welcome us into their organizations to share information and answer our questions.

Join us!

I invite you to consider applying to Leadership Illinois. As a member for five years now, every minute has been useful in expanding my professional horizons, and the relationships I’ve forged are invaluable. Believe me, the experience is unforgettable.
