2022 will mark CFE's 10th year partnering with Ladder Up and their Tax Assistance Program.
The Giving Back Exchange is proud to once again volunteer to assist Chicago families with completing their tax returns thereby keeping more of their hard-earned money.
Ladder Up will provide tax training and certification for CFE Members (and friends) on Thursday, January 27. The training will take place from 2-5pm at the Ladder Up office located in the Apparel Center - a convenient walk to the East Bank Club where CFE's Winter Social & Annual Meeting will take place that same evening. If this training date is not convenient, tax training sessions are available throughout Dec. & Jan. at the Ladder Up offices.
