BLC Publication 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. This evidence dovetails nicely with the fact that this year 44% of our new BLCs are women. This is an impressive 46.7% change from 2017, when women made up only 30% of Business Leader of Color honorees. In this publication, each BLC tells their story in his or her own words. Many of them share about growing up with immigrant parents or being immigrants themselves, which complements Inside Inclusion’s findings about the increasing contributions of immigrants in the U.S. workforce. Our research found that, for example, college-educated Hispanic immigrants continue to gain traction in the corporate world in upper-level jobs, even at a rate higher than that of their U.S.-born counterparts. Immigrants from Asian countries have become the fastest-growing foreign-born group in the U.S., and educated Asians, both immigrants and U.S.-born, have one of the highest levels of representation in upper-level management and executive positions. The leaders you will meet on these pages are outstanding examples of what it means to overcome obstacles and biases to navigate the corporate landscape and ascend to leadership with boldness and confidence. Please join us in welcoming these transformational leaders into the fellowship of Business Leaders of Color. Sincerely, Kip Kelley Gloria Castillo Chief Executive Officer - President and Aon Affinity US Chief Executive Officer Aon plc Chicago United Chairman of the Board Chicago United ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Please recognize the extraordinary efforts of everyone who contributed to the development of the 2019 Business Leaders of Color Publication.

  • Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause
    Call to Action Sara Lee's General Counsel: Making Diversity A Priority By Melanie Lasoff Levs For some committed general counsel, the standard talk about diversity is only a starting point. Recently, many corporate attorneys decided it was time to demand specific actions and results-with very real consequences. In spring 2004, Sara Lee General Counsel Roderick Palmore created "A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession," a document reaffirming a commitment to diversity in the law profession and taking action to ensure that corporate legal departments and law firms increase the numbers of women and minority attorneys hired and retained. And if law firms don't, the document states, "We [the undersigned corporate legal department representatives] further intend to end or limit our relationships with firms whose performance consistently evidences a lack of meaningful interest in being diverse." (See the sidebar in this article for the complete text.) Palmore wrote the Call to Action to build on a previous manifesto: former BellSouth General Counsel Charles Morgan's "Diversity in the Workplace: A Statement of Principle," written in 1999. "In that [document], signatories espoused an interest in diversity and the principle of diversity, which was a fabulous thing at the time," Palmore says. "But it struck me that not enough has happened. The progress of the profession-and more specifically the progress of large law firms-had stagnated." The Call to Action takes the Statement of Principle a step further, Palmore adds. "Its purpose is to take the general principle of interest in advancing diversity and translate that into action, into a commitment to act on, to make decisions about retaining law firms based in part on the diversity performance of those law firms." Discussion around the need for a Call to Action began in November 2003, when a group of general counsel gathered at the invitation of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA®), and the Association of the Corporate Counsel (ACC).
