Chicago United’s Bridge Awards Celebration is Chicago’s premier event celebrating excellence in diversity, equity and inclusion in business.

Our theme this year is:
“The Power of Inclusion”

A highlight of the celebration, the presentation of Chicago United’s Bridge Award honors a company that has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in achieving diversity, equity and inclusion, especially at the board and highest executive levels within their organization. This award brings visibility to those who have led change and inspired others to follow, fostering multiracial leadership in business.

We look forward to gathering with our partners, friends, allies and supporters for an evening of celebration, united by
The Power of Inclusion.

2022 BRIDGE AWARD HONOREE

Established in 2004, the Chicago Bridge Award represents an integral part of Chicago United’s advocacy work to advance multiracial leadership in corporate governance, executive level management and in minority business partnerships. This year, Chicago United proudly presents the 2022 Chicago Bridge Award to PwC, led by Laura Thonn, Chicago Office Managing Partner. This award honors extraordinary leadership in achieving diversity, equity and inclusion, while inspiring others to follow.
