The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, with the support of the McCormick Foundation, has established an Emerging Leaders Program to identify individuals who will make the decisions that will equip Chicago to compete and thrive in the global era. Each year a selection committee identifies a new class of leaders to participate in the two-year program. During the first year, the Emerging Leaders meet as a group in a series of seminars to examine timely issues such as the global economy, foreign policy, the environment and climate change, energy, and migration. In the second year, they work with Chicago Council staff to define, develop, and produce a report on a pressing global challenge that affects Chicago and the Midwest. The two-year term concludes with representatives of the class presenting their recommendations to members of The Chicago Council’s Board of Directors and at a Chicago Council public program.
