Each year, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs holds a Global Leadership Awards Dinner to honor distinguished individuals for their outstanding achievements in the realms of international relations, global thought leadership, and philanthropy. Awards honor an international leader, a national leader, and a Chicago leader in world affairs. This prestigious event has become one of the highlights in the Council’s annual calendar.
