Join Chicago Growth Project in figuring out our initiatives and help plan our Q2 as we flesh out the new organizational structure!
About this Event

This'll be our first working session, open to anyone and everyone! Whether your first introduction to CGP or a long-time member, we've got a lot of things to get done as we prepare for the school board elections and the 2027 cycle. Nothing required, although laptops are recommended, and we'll be doing everything from planning events, brainstorming future initiatives, create social media content, design graphics, code, research, and more!


A not exhaustive list of things to work on are:

  • formalize endorsement process - purpose, how we'll do it, any red lines (if at all), how we evaluate candidates (viability matter? questionaires? actions? endorsements a factor, pro or anti?)
  • get new website going
  • communication strategy, divvying up of responsibilities and just general discussion
  • setting up events for Q2 (eventbrites, picking dates, locations, etc.)



We'll be on the 5th floor in the south and north study room, but come to the south room first and we'll divvy everyone up!
