Chicago United’s Bridge Awards Celebration is Chicago’s premier event honoring excellence in inclusive business practices. 

Highlighting this year’s program, we proudly introduce the 2025 BLCs, a cohort of 50 dynamic, senior-level executives prepared to step into corporate directorships.

We look forward to gathering with our members, partners, friends, and allies Thursday, November 20, for an evening of celebration at The Geraghty, 2520 S. Hoyne Ave., Chicago.
