Acknowledgements

Dear Dinner Guests, It is with tremendous pride and appreciation that we present The Bridge Awards Dinner, made possible through the support of Chicago United members and other associates of Chicago’s leading businesses, and the assistance of many friends.

Foremost, I would like to express tremendous gratitude to presenting sponsor BMO Harris Bank and to Mark Furlong, retired president and CEO, BMO Harris Bank, and chairman, Chicago United Board of Directors, and all its members, for their unwavering support. Many thanks to all of today’s sponsors, especially our Chairman’s Circle, for your extraordinary support.

We would like to thank The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for serving as host of the Chicago United CID Talks Leadership Conference held on October 16 and all the transformational leaders who participated as speakers and moderators. A special note of congratulations to Kim Casey for her leadership in producing CID Talks, Inspiring Culture, Inclusion, and Diversity. We extend a very special thanks to Bill Santulli and Advocate Health Care for donating production of the Chicago United videos presented at today’s event as well as the printed materials. We value the partnership with ABC7 who lent the talents of Ravi Baichwal and Terrell Brown. We thank each and every member of Chicago United for their personal and organizational resources to build the conference and support its mission.

Chicago United appreciates extraordinary partnerships with corporations, foundations, and institutions.

The Surdna Foundation provided essential financial support of our work developing the Five Forward 20/20 strategy. The Chicago Community Trust has become an invaluable supporter of Chicago United’s programs.

We also value the advertising support of Crain’s Chicago Business and the Chicago Tribune Media Group.

We are delighted by the Chicago Sinfonietta who performs during our Bridge Awards Dinner each year.

Special thanks to Billy Dexter, partner, Heidrick & Struggles, for leading the committees during the development of the 2015 Business Leaders of Color publication. It is with admiration that I congratulate Teresa Sarna for leading the Business Leaders of Color selection process and producing the publication with the support of staff and consultants.

Consultants Charmon Parker Williams, Ph.D., principal consultant/president of Parker Williams Consulting, and Doris Salomón, president, Salomón Strategic Solutions, have made tremendous contributions to Chicago United’s work. The team at Weber Shandwick helped this organization achieve strong media presence through meaningful communications support. We would also like to thank the exceptional professional services business partners who work with us to produce this conference including PJH & Associates, Patricia Vogt Design, Wedgeworth Business Communications, Ana Miyares Photography, Dot Ward Photography, Zuno Photographic Inc., and Suvada Software.

Finally, to the mighty team at Chicago United, I can only begin to express my personal appreciation to Salvador Bayron, Kimberly Casey, Carrie Osslund, Christian Sanchez, Teresa Sarna, and Ana Souchet. To all who made this Bridge Awards Dinner and the CID Talks Leadership Conference a success, thank you!

Sincerely,

Gloria Castillo, President and CEO

Welcome to the Chicago United Bridge Awards Dinner

Dear Colleagues: Chicago United holds a special place in our city’s history. Gloria and the team have provided extraordinary leadership in giving voice to the importance of keeping our business community and our work forces open to all, and a place where people of color can thrive. I know that all of our businesses are better off today because of our membership in Chicago United and the commitments we’ve made as part of Five Forward.

Tonight, we celebrate excellence! Congratulations to our National Bridge Award recipient Richard A. Gonzalez, Chairman of the Board and CEO of AbbVie; Chicago Bridge Award recipient Jim Skogsbergh, President and CEO of Advocate Health Care; and Bridge Advocate Award recipient Pat Harris, Global Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Community Engagement for McDonald’s. These business leaders have solid achievements in creating dynamically diverse workplaces. And they seem tireless in always challenging themselves to do more. We celebrate their determination, and accomplishments.

Making Chicago a leading city where people of color continue to thrive requires all of us in the business community to step up and do more. For us, we have found that Chicago United is the go-to partner and thought leader for businesses that want to drive a bold agenda on diversity and inclusion.

Sincerely,

David R. Casper President & CEO BMO Harris Bank (Diamond Status/Five Forward Program)

CORPORATE DIVERSITY

PROFILE

A STUDY OF CORPORATE DIVERSITY IN THE CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA Chicago’s top 50 companies (2013 revenue) show: • Minorities hold 12% of the 551 board of director positions at the 50 firms, a number flat since 2012

• The inaugural 21 committed corporations reported spending an aggregate total of over $350 million in 2014 with selected MBEs, an 82% increase over the numbers they reported in 2008, the first year of the program • These MBEs increased their staffing levels to support their contracts and the subsequent economic activity further enhanced employment • Job creation was measured by the University of Illinois for the early adopters of the program. Total job creation measured by the program grew from 1,955 in 2009 to 4,781 jobs in 2014

• 11 of the 50 firms, or 22%, have no ethnic diversity on their boards, 2 more than in 2012 • Minorities hold 10% of the 660 executive positions at the top 50 firms. Of those, Asians hold 4%, African Americans, 3%, and Hispanics, 3% • 17 the 50 firms have zero ethnic diversity in their executive ranks • The current rate of increase in representation on boards and in executive level management indicates that it will take 64 years for all minorities to reach parity

• Over the last 12 years, Business Leaders of Color showcased nearly 320 board-ready candidates in biennial publications • These men and women have rendered service in over 215 corporate directorships
