This was a transformational year for The Chicago Council on Global Affairs. The inaugural Chicago Forum on Global Cities, one of the most ambitious and visionary endeavors in the Council’s history, was highly successful in convening key voices from around the world to advance critical dialogue on the growing stature and influence of global cities. We also celebrated the 40th anniversary of our flagship Chicago Council Survey of American public opinion on US foreign policy, issued a report urging the US government to address the scourge of global malnutrition, hosted the first major foreign policy address among the current field of presidential candidates, published a report that helped transform the political and policy debate on the conflict raging between Russia and Ukraine, and expanded our communication capabilities to extend the reach of, and engagement with, our work. Finally, we received the largest gift in Council history – $10 million from the Crown family – in honor of Lester Crown and his outstanding leadership as Chicago Council chairman for more than a decade.
