CHICAGO, IL — The University of Chicago Center for Effective Government (CEG) at the Harris School of Public Policy today announced its 2023 class of Civic Leadership Academy (CLA) fellows—30 of the area’s most promising government and nonprofit leaders—who make up the ninth cohort of the Center’s prestigious interdisciplinary leadership development program.
The 2023 cohort, which includes 15 fellows from nonprofit organizations, seven from City of Chicago government, and eight from Cook County government, joins a program that fuels an exchange of ideas across Chicago and Cook County that improves practices and civic outcomes while spurring greater collaboration and innovation across our institutions.
“The Civic Leadership Academy brings together the best and brightest from Chicago’s civic sector, and the incoming 2023 cohort is no exception,” said William Howell, the Sydney Stein Professor of American Politics at the University of Chicago and director of CEG. “With democratic institutions under threat at home and abroad, these fellows exemplify our aspiration for the kind of capable, thoughtful leadership that effective governance requires.”
“The Civic Leadership Academy affords endless possibilities to explore and interrogate the nuances of our work and its impact on our city,” said Clancey D’Isa, CLA 2023 cohort member and director of strategy and development at the Seminary Co-op Bookstores. “I am buoyed by all that is possible alongside a cohort of Chicago's most engaged and generative civic, government, and non-profit leaders.”
