The Civic Consulting Alliance Board is comprised of senior leadership from the City's most prominent corporate, professional and philanthropic organizations. The Board provides high-level leadership and resources - project teams, executives "on loan" for CCA's projects and conduits to expertise across Chicago's civic landscape. Board members also provide critical insight into the political climate that helps ensure CCA's work has the maximum possible impact.
