Events are so important to us because community is at the core of who we are. CWIP hosts a variety of networking forums, seminars, workshops, & panels that allow our members to learn together and from each other. We connect women with resources, mentors, and mentees in order to help our community grow and flourish. From breakfast events to lunch events to after-work events, we are committed to providing opportunities for Chicago to connect, flourish, and leave feeling empowered.
To our LGBTQ+ members and colleagues: thank you for your leadership, your partnership, and the many ways you help make CWIP a more vibrant and welcoming community.
CWIP members converged for breakfast and networking during the group’s annual meeting at Maggiano’s in August. CWIP Co-chair Carolyn Nopar welcomed the group and offered a recap of the year in review. She also introduced the 2019-2020 board slate. The slate was accepted unanimously.
While most of us have rarely known the names of past state public health directors, Dr. Ngozi Ezike has become a household name that Illinoians have come to rely on. While the COVID-19 pandemic is of course part of the reason we all know Dr. Ezike’s name, it has been her steadfast leadership, calm demeanor, and ability to explain complicated and quickly-changing concepts with professionalism and compassion that has inspired and captivated many of us.
