    University of Chicago’s Civic Leadership Academy: Why Didn’t We Think of This Before?

    Over the past two years, we have been thrilled to support the University of Chicago’s Civic Leadership Academy (CLA). CLA is a training program in conjunction with LISC Chicago and the Civic Consulting Alliance that seeks to develop a pipeline of high-potential government and nonprofit leaders, advance the missions of their organizations, and grow the civic infrastructure of Chicago.

    Last week, we celebrated the graduation of CLA’s second cohort. In an inspiring night of tech and positivity, we honored the bright minds working to make Chicago the best city it can be.

    Here are our top tweets from the event:

    #uchicla asks the right question "where am I taking the world" rather than "what is the world coming to" @UChiEngagement @MSFTChicago
