Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot has made the first key staff appointments in her new administration. Mayor Lightfoot is continuing the trend set by her appointments to her transition team, which included six alumni of the Civic Leadership Academy (CLA).
Of the nine new appointments made to key agencies, three – fully one-third – are CLA alumni.
“We are hitting the ground running with a talented team of public servants ready to serve every Chicagoan,” Mayor Lightfoot said in the announcement. “I look forward to working with these experienced professionals to ensure a responsive, transparent government that creates equity, opportunity and growth for every neighborhood in our city.”
