COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center (CEC) is constantly on the lookout for the next great entrepreneur, as well as the next great groups of entrepreneurs, so we reached out to high-school students last year and will again this year, acting on the need to nurture and motivate tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. Also, we reacted to Chicagoland’s growing interest in the fashion industry by actively participating in the expansion of this increasingly high-potential area for the city and surrounding region.

The CEC continues to be a driving force behind the success of Chicago’s new businesses. Its Future Founders youth entrepreneurship program seeds the area’s business “ecosystem” with tomorrow’s business leaders by not only inspiring them, but giving them the tools they need to succeed.
