Join us Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 5:30 pm at McDermott, Will & Emery to hear a distinguished panel of Chicago not for profit education leaders discuss the topic of Chicago education.  They will discuss their views of the challenge, how their organizations are developing ways to respond, and ways both government and other civic organizations can collaborate to achieve progress.

Learn about successful strategies, continued challenges and lessons learned.
