The Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (IHCC) and BMO Harris hosted the first-ever Women’s CEO Roundtable bringing women together to connect, collaborate and create a host of new opportunities. “We want to hear directly from the fastest growing group of CEO’s, which happen to be women,” said Jaime Di Paulo, president and CEO, Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (IHCC). “Women are starting businesses faster than any demographic group and we want the IHCC to be at the table to listen, act, and grow together. We want to open doors that will lead to more opportunities.” The intent is for the roundtable to lead to a series of additional roundtables in 2020, focused on advancing women’s leadership. The inaugural IHCC Women’s CEO Roundtable was sponsored by BMO Harris. “The purpose of the IHCC Women’s CEO Roundtable is to bring women CEO’s together and create a space to share challenges, opportunities and offer each other resources and support,” said Arabel Alva Rosales, president and CEO of AAR&Assocs., LTD., Board of Directors, IHCC. “We want to be a vehicle to help women reach and connect with as many people as possible while supporting their work.”
