Women Leaders in Government: Amplifying Voices, Driving Change

This insightful session will delve into the significance of women's representation in leadership positions and its profound impact on governance, policy-making, and addressing contemporary challenges. Our mission at CMS is centered around fostering diversity and inclusion in leadership roles, and this event serves as a platform to amplify women's voices in government.

Held both in person at 555 W. Monroe in Chicago and streamed online, this hybrid "Lunch and Learn" session aims to showcase Illinois as a thriving environment for women in government leadership. Through shared experiences and perspectives, our esteemed panelists will shed light on the vital role of women's leadership in shaping organizational culture, driving recruitment, and enhancing retention efforts.

Join us as we celebrate Women's History Month by championing diversity, inclusion, and the power of female leadership.
