Dear Friends:                                                                                                                7/24/11

The current unemployment rate for the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville area is a staggering 10.4%[1].  We recognize the challenge ahead for our members and companies within the Chicagoland area.  Despite these alarming indicators, the Chicago Chapter is in a fortunate stable position in terms of its cash balance and income statement.  In response to the high unemployment numbers, the CCNBMBAA will continue to provide events and programs geared towards our Entrepreneurs and Professionals for developing and cultivating leaders within our communities.

Please continue to support the local National Black MBA Association, Inc., Chicago Chapter.  This support can be in terms of positive outreaches to your families, companies, friends, and associates about the great work that this Organization is performing.  It is our sincerest intent to provide our members with access to the greatest companies around the World.  Be a part of something special, come join us.

Spencer Palmer
President
