The Chicago Network

The Chicago Network (TCN) is an American membership organization founded in 1979, for professional women in the Chicago metropolitan area who have reached the highest echelons of business, the arts, government, nonprofits and academia. The goal of TCN is to provide a forum for friendship, to provide mutual support and counsel for member careers and to raise awareness of professional, political and social issues facing women. Each year, TCN publishes The Chicago Network Census to document the progress of women business leaders in Chicago's 50 largest public companies. Currently, TCN has approximately 445 members.
