LeadHERship in Action: Panel & Networking Event

The Junior League of Chicago (JLC) is excited to expand our signature LeadHERship programming with a brand-new spring event during National Volunteer Week on April 23rd at 5:30 PM at the Salesforce Tower.

This event will highlight the vital role of volunteering in shaping strong, service-driven leaders. Building on the success of our annual LeadHERship Lunch, which convenes diverse and powerful women leaders from across Chicago to discuss key issues in leadership, this new spring event will focus on the transformative power of service, civic engagement, and volunteerism in career and leadership development.

Through a dynamic panel discussion, we will feature inspiring women who exemplify leadership through service, demonstrating how their commitment to giving back has fueled their careers, strengthened communities, and paved the way for greater equity and impact. This event will also create a platform for attendees to engage in meaningful conversations, mentorship opportunities, and actionable strategies to integrate service into their leadership journeys.

Panelists include:

• Michaela McGill, Product Education & Strategy at Salesforce
• Kellie O'Connell, Chief Executive Officer at American Red Cross of Illinois
• Sheena Rubin, Social & Earned Media Chief, U.S. Army
• Caroline Donlin, Managing Director and Group Head, Engineering & Construction at BMO

$75 Ticket includes acess to the event and light bites and beverages.
