The Task Force on the economic engagement of the Mexican community in greater Chicago was formed in October 2005 to examine critical issues related to the integration of the Mexican community into Chicago’s economic, social, and political life.
The Task Force pursued three main objectives: 1) to make concrete recommendations for action targeted to public and private institutions and leaders, 2) to stimulate public and leadership discussion of key challenges and opportunities associated with economic engagement, and 3) to encourage other institutions to pursue economic engagement in their own spheres.
The Task Force on economic engagement of the Mexican community in greater Chicago is co-chaired by Douglas A. Doetsch, Partner, Mayer Brown Rowe and Maw, LLP; Clare Muñana, President, Ancora Associates, Inc.; and Alejandro Silva, Chairman, Evans Food Group, Inc.
The Task Force collaborated with the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, the Midwest’s most prominent institution devoted to policy-relevant research on Latinos.
Generous support from The Chicago Community Trust, the lead sponsor, and the Boeing Foundation, Exelon Corporation, the McCormick Tribune Foundation, Mayer Brown LLP, Evans Food Group, Clare Muñana, MacNeal Hospital, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, and an anonymous donor made the Task Force and its report possible.
