July 13, 2007 | Chicago

On Wednesday, July 11, Arnstein & Lehr presented Cheryle Jackson, CEO and president of the Chicago Urban League, with the Arnstein & Lehr LLP 2007 Woman of Vision Award at the Women Business Leaders Networking Lunch. The event was held at Fulton’s on the River and sponsored by the firm’s Diversity Committee.

“It was truly an honor to be the recipient of Arnstein & Lehr’s first Woman of Vision Award,” said Jackson. “When women come together and support each other, it creates a powerful energy; an energy that reminds you that you can do anything. The support of many women is helping me to carry out my vision. Again, I want to thank Cynde Munzer of Arnstein & Lehr for all of her hard work and all of the ladies who attended the luncheon,” she adds.

Attendees were invited by the firm’s attorneys, and many of the women attorneys attended the event, including Stephanie Kim, Kathleen Lach, Laura Lau, Joy Levy, Molly Mackey, Cynde Munzer, Andrea Siskovic, Sharilee Kempa Smentek, Miriam Stein, and Elizabeth Wei.

Over 100 women from across the Chicago area attended the event, including City Treasurer Stephanie Neeley. Other women in attendance included executives in government, law, health care, business, and education.
