Impact Through Alliance: Englewood

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Loyola University Chicago’s Baumhart Center and The Institute for Racial Justice and is proud to present “Impact through Alliance: Chicago Neighborhood Business Series”—a dynamic program series designed to celebrate and support Chicago’s diverse business communities.

Experience Englewood: A Journey through Resilience, Innovation, and Community

Join us for the kickoff of Impact through Alliance: Chicago Neighborhood Business Series—an immersive, community-centered experience designed to spotlight the strength and stories of Chicago’s diverse business communities. Our first stop: Englewood.

Led by award-winning Chicago historian and storyteller Dilla, this guided bus tour will explore Englewood’s rich cultural heritage and highlight local businesses that are creating change and fostering community. Connect with local businesses and community leaders, deepen your understanding of neighborhood-based economic development, and learn how collaboration and allyship can strengthen Chicago’s future.

Following the bus tour, participants will hear from an amazing panel at Kennedy-King College over lunch.
