    Advancing Multiracial Leadership LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE With great pride we present to you the 2019 Chicago United Business Leaders of Color. Since 2003, we have shared with the Chicago business community a total of 420 individuals who dispel the myth that there is a paucity of qualified, dynamic, visionary and talented executives of color to step into corporate board directorships and other high-profile leadership positions across many industries in this city and beyond. This year’s 50 inspiring individuals join a network of the most influential, diverse, and inclusive leaders in the Chicago community. They provide shareholder value in the changing world of business and inspire others as they continue to build on their successes as leaders. Chicago United’s 2019 theme is Leading Boldly, and these 50 individuals, chosen from a highly-competitive field of 182 nominees, are using every bit of their skill, education, rich experience and innovative spirit to boldly lead their teams and their organizations to business success and profitability. Today, we face messages of racial, ideological and economic divisiveness in our government, the media, and in our communities. It could be easy to become discouraged with our vision of transforming the Chicago region into the most inclusive business ecosystem in the nation. But these business leaders give us hope that, despite forces to the contrary, people of color continue to make strides. Our 2018 research report, Inside Inclusion Featuring the Corporate Diversity Profile, found that the number of Crain’s Chicago Business Top 50 companies with more than 25% diversity in their executive ranks was higher in 2018 than all preceding years combined.
