Registration is closed

Join us for a very special dinner program – our first one in nearly two years! We will continue celebrating our 40th anniversary, a milestone reached in 2020.

Our program will feature a conversation between Linda Coberly, Chicago Managing Partner of Winston & Strawn LLP, and CFE President Marie Winters about how professionals can use their skills to drive change in their communities. 

The conversation will focus on Linda's experiences as an advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment -- both nationally and here in Illinois, where the legislature finally ratified the ERA in 2018 -- as well as the June 2021 U.S. Supreme Court victory she and her colleagues secured for college athletes against the NCAA.


Please register as space is limited to the first 100 registrants!
Per state and Chicago mandates, attendees are required to wear masks inside the venue regardless of vaccination status. Masks may be removed to eat and drink.
