Stronger Together: Networking Happy Hour is a dynamic evening of connection, inspiration, and community building. Springboard to Success (S2S), CHA’s nonprofit partner, hosts an annual alumni event designed for former S2S Scholarship Awardees and Program Participants. Young professionals and recent graduates, eager to expand their networks, reconnect with peers, and engage with civic leaders who share their commitment to uplifting Chicago and CHA communities.

Keeping this event free for alumni and community leaders is central to our mission of fostering lifelong engagement and strengthening our community. By removing financial barriers to attendance, we maximize participation from alumni at all career stages and from diverse backgrounds.

The evening will feature:

• -A short fireside chat with Civic Leaders from Chicago. Welcome from Corliss Garner, followed by Sheila R Brown as moderator for conversation with Dawn Milhouse! 
  • 
    
  • -A networking booklet with Networking Bingo to spark conversations and a section to note contacts for follow-up.
