Welcome.  I’ve had the privilege of leading and growing this outstanding Club for more than two decades.  From a small group of local leaders, The Executives’ Club of Chicago has expanded to a membership of more than 2,200 business leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs.

With over 60 programs annually, the Club offers members an extensive portfolio to meet their needs.  Our marquee Global Leaders Luncheon series provides members the opportunity to hear and learn from the world’s most influential decision makers, and strategically positions Chicago on the global stage.  The Chicago CEO Breakfast series poises CEO’s of major Chicago corporations to discuss issues and strategies of interest to our members on both a local and global level.  Other branded programs focus on the specific interests of key membership segments; this includes our quarterly Technology Conferences, Women’s Leadership Program, and New Leaders Circle.  The Club has also established ten committees to support members’ professional interests and drive thought leadership for the Club’s programming. 

Today, the world is experiencing a time of profound change, and seldom has the future looked less predictable.  As leaders look to find new ways to navigate through the challenges ahead, the Club’s Board of Directors and I are working in partnership to ensure The Executives’ Club of Chicago continues to be recognized as one of the world’s leading forums for collaboration and discussion on global issues with the world’s most influential leaders.  Our roots were planted nearly a century ago by a select group of business leaders who met weekly at The Hotel Sherman; today, we are a Club that embraces diversity and is recognized as the leading organization for fostering young talent and building a leadership legacy for the City of Chicago.

If you are not a member, I welcome you to consider joining the Executives’ Club of Chicago and become in the company of leaders.

Sincerely,

Kaarina Koskenalusta
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Executives’ Club of Chicago
