Thank you to our speakers, organizers, Chapter Champions, and attendees all who all made this year's Annual Meeting and breakfast such a sold-out success! We had a packed house who joined us for a panel discussion with some of Chicagoland’s leaders in fundraising focusing on their recent transitions to foundation work. A special thanks to our panel, Channing Lenert of Polk Bros Foundation, Tony Martinez of the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation, and Crystal Williams Robinson of the Siragusa Family Foundation along with our fantastic moderator, Ishan Johnson, 2019 Chamberlain Scholar for sharing their expertise and words of wisdom with us.
