Specifically, the bill would bar sexual orien- tation discrimination on current service mem- bers and future recruits.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

    Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2017 | July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 Rising to the Challenge YOS strategically adapts to meet the needs of Chicago’s at-risk youth One bad choice can change the path of a life forever. That’s why Youth Outreach Services (YOS) is so passionate about the services and programs we offer our clients and their families. Everything we do is focused on enabling youth to have brighter futures by making good decisions now, even in the face of major challenges like drugs, violence, gangs, homelessness, and mental illness. The same is true for how YOS approaches the strategic management of our resources. In fiscal year ’17, YOS continued to build a better future for the organization while dealing with funding challenges for contracted services from the state of Illinois. Helping at-risk youth in Chicago to reach their potential is too important to let a few roadblocks stand in the way. By carefully controlling our reserves and funds, YOS stayed focused on our mission. We were able to maintain and expand services to address existing and emerging issues, while preparing for strategic growth in the future. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS RESULT IN GROWTH Sustained much needed services I E N T S S E R V E Led an expansion of the C L D geographic scope of services YOS stayed invested in keeping core services available at our offices, in Grew our Comprehensive Community families’ homes, and at schools, so 2,991 Based Youth Services (CCBYS) clients were not left without a PREVENTION followed by a partnership with safety net.
