We gather together today in support of Chicago United’s long-standing mission to develop sustainable diversity in corporate America. McDonald’s, like so many of you, has embraced diversity and inclusion as a foundation of our business not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it is the smart thing to do to drive a successful business. The theme of this year’s conference says it all – “Innovation, Knowledge, Teamwork: The Power of Leadership.” Our exciting program this year offers all of us the opportunity to share best practices that will enable us to return to our workplaces energized and enthusiastic over the power of leadership in diversity and inclusion. Special congratulations to those being honored with the 2010 Bridge Awards – Frederick Waddell, Chairman and CEO of Northern Trust Corporation; John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems, Inc.; and Maestro Paul Freeman, Music Director, Chicago Sinfonietta. Finally, I’d like to extend appreciation to all the sponsors, staff, volunteers, and participants who contribute to Chicago United.

Acknowledgements Dear Conference Participants, A conference of this depth of talent and content cannot be developed and delivered without the support of an active membership and many friends. First, I would like to thank Doug Goare, chairman of the Chicago United Board of Directors, and all its members for their unwavering support. A great deal of gratitude to Doug Goare and McDonald’s for serving as presenting sponsor at this year’s conference. Enormous thanks to our Changing Color of Leadership Conference and Bridge Awards Dinner Steering Committee for generating heightened support of this event and to all of today’s sponsors, especially our Chairman’s Circle Sponsors, for your extraordinary support.

Finally we thank each and every member of Chicago United for their personal and organizational resources to build the conference and support its mission. David Rudd and the team at The Axis Agency have helped this organization achieve a strong media presence during the year. Perika Sampson provided dedicated direction in developing the 2010 Corporate Diversity Profile and has continued to coalesce the diversity officers in the region at our Diversity Officer Roundtables. Finally we acknowledge Judy Mathews, president of Community Interface, who has become the most versatile consultant and strategist imaginable and who is responsible for delivering the high-quality program and workshops of this Changing Color of Leadership Conference. Finally, the team at Chicago United is without a doubt the hardest working group ever assembled.

We believe that when you say something, people should be able to believe it. So when we say our burgers are 100% USDA inspected beef, it’s because they are. And when we say a person can start out on a restaurant crew and end up owning their own restaurant, it’s because more than 50% of our owner/operators came up the same way. So did more than 75% of our restaurant managers and many of our corporate staff. And when we say we’re committed to diversity in hiring, what we actually mean is that we’re an industry leader, from our restaurants to our supplier networks to our owners. To be the best company we can, we have to create the best opportunities. And we’d like to believe that some of the best ones around, are right here.

Inclusion is part of our heritage, and I am committed to continuing to create an

environment where our entire system is even

more diligent about identifying and developing diversity of thought to better understand the needs of the diverse population we serve.” Jim Skinner CEO

A true shift towards diversity happens when

it becomes second nature, part of the very

fabric of who we are – both in front of the

camera and, perhaps even more importantly, behind the scenes. In the television news business, it’s not enough to hire on-air staff

and say, “now we’re diverse.” At ABC7, taking an inclusive approach to the people we hire leads to an inclusive approach to the stories we cover and the manner in which we present

the news each day. It is the only way we can truly flourish, the only way we can forge that essential connection with our viewers. Emily L. Barr

President and General Manager ABC7

Partners in the Arts

Now in its 24th season, the Chicago Sinfonietta has enriched the cultural and

educational quality of life in Chicago since 1987, while gaining significant recognition on the national and international stage. The Sinfonietta is the most diverse orchestra

in the country employing more musicians of color than any other ensemble. We are

delighted that our Founding Music Director Paul Freeman is being honored tonight by Chicago United with its prestigious Bridge Advocate Award.

The orchestra performs subscription seasons at Symphony Center in downtown

Chicago, and beginning in the 2011-2012 Season, at Wentz Auditorium in Naperville. Under Founding Music Director Paul Freeman, the Sinfonietta has earned a reputation for innovative programming that attracts underserved and new audiences. Over forty percent of the subscribers and single ticket buyers are people of color.

The 2010-2011 Season will be Maestro Paul Freeman’s final season as the orchestra’s

music director and will culminate with his final concerts to be performed on May 22-

23, 2011 and broadcast live by WFMT 98.7FM. Maestro Mei-Ann Chen will succeed Dr. Freeman and will share the podium on this final, historic concert.

The Sinfonietta is committed to education and provides three programs that serve

elementary age students through college graduates. Over 2,000 Chicago Public School students are served by the organization’s Audience Matters and SEED programs. In 2008 the Sinfonietta began its groundbreaking fellowship program, Project

Inclusion, which provides professional development for young minority musicians. Free Project Inclusion Ensemble performances are available for community events by calling 312-284-1553.

The Sinfonietta has been recognized for its work of championing diversity and inclusiveness in classical music by receiving the Wallace Foundation’s Award of Excellence, one of only nine Chicago arts organizations to be chosen, a National Endowment for the Arts

Stimulus grant, one of only two Illinois orchestras to receive this support, and by the World

Diversity Leadership Summit as their Global Diversity in the Arts award recipient. In addi-

tion, the Chicago Sinfonietta has produced fourteen CDs, has embarked on six European tours, has performed twice at the JFK Center for the Performing Arts, and is the official orchestra of the Joffrey Ballet.

Bridge Awards Introduction

2 0 1 0 C H I CAG O U N ITE D B R I D G E AWAR DS The Bridge Award represents the first national award that honors CEOs who are advocates for multiracial diversity in corporate governance. In keeping with the spirit of our advocacy in support of the development of multiracial participation at all levels in business, these awards brings visibility to those who have driven change and have inspired others to follow. Chicago United (CU) established the Bridge Awards during its inaugural Changing Color of Leadership Conference in November of 2004. The award celebrates the accomplishments of chief executive officers of publicly held corporations who have inspired and supported diversity on their board of directors. The award also recognizes their corporation’s commitment to diversity in senior level management and business partnerships among diverse firms. After conducting a rigorous examination of publicly available company data, CU reviewed five national and five Chicago-based companies with diverse boards of directors based on a specific threshold of diverse board member participation. The National Bridge Award serves to honor the exemplary practices of a Fortune 500 corporation. The Chicago Bridge Award serves to honor a corporation supporting the development of a vibrant and richly diverse business community in the Chicago region. Each company was evaluated on quantitative and qualitative data by an internal and external committee. The committees consisted of corporate and nonprofit executives, entrepreneurs and academicians, and were selected based on their neutrality and experience. The committees were provided with rating/ranking criteria and a cumulative point system for the award selection process. The Bridge Advocate Award celebrates the accomplishments of a public- or privatesector citizen who actively recognizes the importance of diversity to our country’s economy and global competitiveness. We applaud the 2010 Bridge Award recipients for being true champions for diversity in governance, management, and business partnerships. Your leadership, vision, and commitment will continue to foster innovative approaches to achieving diversity in corporate governance throughout the business community.
